Diamana Mousso

I just bought a new CD called Seckou Keita who was a traditional musician playing the kora (a traditional African instrument much like a guitar) from the country of Mali. The music was kind of strange, but reading through the notes of the songs there were many profound verses that are interesting which is much reflects the poetic nature of the artist. One of the songs that I like was Diamana Mousso and I want to share what he wrote there:

In any relationship, distance between partners will not stop them thinking of each other in a good or bad way. Our ancestors had a more difficult and tiring life but they were an example for relationships based on trust and friendship. We are in a world which has started with love and end with love. Love and friendship are based on trust. Mansali used to say that to listen to each other is very important and used to leave us saying "Good Bye! God give you somebody who stays and care for you."

Today people say, "I will love you for something and I want you for something."

This is not the way! Just love!
