Waking one morning to more news of death and destruction in Gaza had me in tears.

As someone who enjoys parodies and ad libbing from time to time, a memory recall of encountering Brooke Fraser’s ‘Albertine’ for the first time and the replays I’ve hit on this song over the years roused a need to express what I felt. Taking artistic liberties with her song, I couldn’t resist the urge to play.

But there’s no comedic value here. What is happening is no joke. The world all over is bursting at the seams due to oppression.

I’ve had enough of it. Life must go on with meaningful strides in the pursuit of justice. For there is no peace without it. For anyone.
