I went down to the Cuckmere on Wednesday with my ukulele hybrid over my shoulder. I was singing & playing as I walked down to the estuary. When returning to the Visitor Centre at volunteer at the centre made a comment about the ukulele. I gave an impropmtu rendering of the song I’ve just sung. I had conversation of my ties with this part of the countryside. I returned home feeling happier & I think that those who heard had the usual de Lullington experience. The whole thing was, of course, unplanned & so no pressure. Iwas asked if I could perform publicly, I said ‘No’ giving my reasons.

Flicking the ink on a hot day.
Up to date with the willows.
Crying in the wilderness.
The innocent, the innocent,
But is there such a thing?
Peoples vote for tyrants,
The peoples reap their sin.
The pictures of the media
Focus on a point of view.
The Zionists have their agendas,
Hamas have them too.
But when the scales fall from both their eyes,
When Scripture revisited it’s never too late,
The two states can show the world
Love is triumphant over hate.
And, yes, I have to say it,
Christ showed how it can be done,
The principles of redemption
More powerful than the gun.
But both sides, on their way to ruin
On their Damascus road,
Like Saul, who became Paul,
Must see the light together
If peace to be installed.
Oh dear, a barrier has fallen,
But one must look for hope,
The world will wait and see,
How do those mothers cope?
