Where have all the flowers gone?

This is a wartime song, but I found it very apt for what we are experiencing right now. I cannot say much about it, not that I do not have anything to say, it's just that certain circumstances is forcing me to lie low for an indefinite period.. damn... now all I can blog about is how boring daily life is. Or maybe I can talk about how cute I think C. Ronaldo is :p *loves guys with rosy cheeks*

The part of the song that I feel is most apt for us right now

When will we ever learn? When will we ever learn?

I wish I can grab the people by their shoulder and shake them till they wake up. When will we ever learn?? Why are we always so naive and get fooled by them?? Why??

We are all smart people, so why are we being so stupid in this aspect?

All I can say is that I'm very disappointed, all they did was promise and promise and that's about it, no deliver, no nothing. Time after time, we put our good faith in them and time after time they did not deliver. Now don't come telling me that they did well, things may had went well due to what they had done, but not everything should be credited to them. It's like having a garden full of flowers in spring, of course you need a gardener, but as it's the season of growth, even without a good gardener, the garden will flourish. Now if you can have a garden full of flowers in winter, that's an achievement, the conditions are against you but you managed to make things work. Please do not take credit where credit is not deserved.

Enjoy the song.. And next time, please remember.. learn.. Do not take things at face value, look deeper, ask yourself, is this what you really want?

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 we ever learn?
When will we 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 we ever learn?
When will we 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 we ever learn?
When will we 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 we ever learn?
When will we 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?
