    Think of how Apartheid's madness tried to prevent this! What blindness and ignorance racial prejudice is born of. Fear deprived South Africa of hundreds of years of doing what is natural: joining together in the music of co-creation toward a better more humane and beautiful world that honours our Creator. Viva the Songs of Freedom Viva! They are born of the Vast Heart for all of Humanity to celebrate and remember who we are born to be!

      But point well made however long is was never acceptable.

      Sometime in the song they said
      open the door for us we want to get in
      We will get in 🎶 and started dancing
