'Whispering Grass'
On page 79, the names of the significant political figures Hitler, Churchill, Stalin, Mussolini and Tse- Tung are mentioned alongside the lyrics from the song above.
Why do you whisper green grass?
Why tell the trees what ain’t so?
Whispering trees don't tell the trees
What the trees done need to know.
What do you think the composer is alluding to?
