Where have all the flowers gone political betyder?
"Where Have All the Flowers Gone?" er en moderne folkemusik-sang. Melodien og de første tre vers blev skrevet af Pete Seeger i 1955 og offentliggjort i magasinet Sing Out! Yderligere vers blev tilføjet i maj 1960 af Joe Hickerson, som gjorde den til en cirkelsang. Det retoriske "hvor?" og meditationen over døden placerer sangen i ubi sunt-traditionen. 2010 blev den i New Statesman opført som en af de "20 bedste politiske sange".
