Description:
This piece inspired by the poignant tune written/sung by Marvin Gaye (1971). This one has been ruminating in my mind for some time now as we all know our planet is suffering. The vision finally came to me – it’s as if Mother Nature herself is crying out for mercy. The words of Marvin’s song nearly 50 years ago are ringing in my ears…
Whoa mercy, mercy me,
Oh things ain’t what they used to be, no no
Oil wasted on the oceans and upon our seas, fish full of mercury…
