When a child is born
seems to be the part
remembered most
of that Neneh Cherry
and Youssou N’Dour
trilingual song
7 Seconds is the choice
of a third generation
South African interviewed
on Sunday morn radio
one Dion Chang is he
a Trend Analyst
I try and make you
think differently he says
he who has been cursed
spat at/on
given his looks
BC and AC he says
Before Corona
After Corona
(if you wondered)
He talks Scenario Planning
Re-think everything
he has guests who speak of
Challenges and Opportunities
Privacy versus Freedom
Personal versus Community
(imbalances still)
Everything is changing
someone says almost
a cliché nowadays
A wake-up call
Re-invent Survive
(keep your distance)
In a time of crisis
In a time of fear
