Travel through time with Wetion. Based on the book by the same name, Wetion highlights communication’s role in survival and the evolution of writing is a part of this theme. Its 10 scenes recall the important moments worth remembering over 2,000 generations…the legends, passion, humour, laws, codes and cures. And the scenes are staged in regions where much history was written - East Africa, Egypt, the Middle East, European regional hubs, and North American centers.
 
The call to duty continued in Scene 09. In this, Dr. Allan Walker Blair, a professor of medicine at the University of Alabama in 1933, is looking to do something different. In the name of science, he designs a controversial experiment to benefit society and documents the pain associated with this. "Doodles and Grey Dandies" captures the most important elements of his experience.
 
Doodles and Grey Dandies 
 
Well I’ve got 
Journalists and patriarchs
Waiting at the door
Forming their opinions
Of the test I’ve suffered for
Casting in old memories 
And ghosts and fire for fame
Do you blame?
 
The doodles and grey dandies
Played characters 
Feel shame
Orchestrate, conditions
Aberrant, insane
Can we make a difference?
In empathy they’re saying
 
You looked at me
Now you can see 
All the unfree
Pain and disease
 
Well I’m not
Out of care in Africa
Adams shared the core
The differences are simple
The coliseum roars
A thumb decides your fate
Death or something more
Do you blame?
 
The noodles of aristocracy
The powers
So remain
The crowd sides with the majority
The slaves so live in pain
Live in independence
Or last gasp saying
 
You pity me
Mighty can’t feel
Sharing the mead
From the same seeds.
 
Well I’m white 
From the lack of sunshine
Not ivory within
My heart shares the beat
With no regard to kin
Rainbows still attract us
Colour blinding skin
Do you blame?
 
Leaders riding horses
Bred from racing strains
Morbid family secrets
Hideaway in shame
Never fear 
The difference
Surviving promotes change
 
You looked at me
Now you can see
One for all
Our fa-mi-ly
 
La de da de da
Da de da de da
La de da de da
Da de da de da
