WHERE HAVE ALL THE FLOWERS GONE?

And as we mark ANZAC Day today, I leave you with the words of Pete Seeger's 1961 classic, 'Where Have all the flowers gone?', which was song so beautifully and poignantly by children of Ela Murray International School at the Bomana War Cemetery outside Port Moresby this morning.Thank you so much, particularly to the people of Australia and New Zealand, for your faithful readership of the ANZAC Day articles I have posted this week. God's Blessings from Papua New Guinea...Malum

Where have all the flowers gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the flowers gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the flowers gone?
Girls have picked them every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?

Where have all the young girls gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the young girls gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the young girls gone?
Taken husbands every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?

Where have all the young men gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the young men gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the young men gone?
Gone for soldiers every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?

Where have all the soldiers gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Gone to graveyards every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?

Where have all the graveyards gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the graveyards gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the graveyards gone?
Covered with flowers every one
When will we ever learn
?
When will we ever learn?
