DESCRIPTION:
A song written for a South African friend after she and her husband lost half of their farm in the government's efforts to repatriate the land to black Africans, most of whom are not farmers. The effects of this practice are such that people lose their land, workers (many of them black Africans) lose their jobs, and unqualified people take over farms, knowing nothing about how to run a farm, and the operation fails, leaving in its wake famine.
