right song

right song

shame too few felt the message

'what's that sound everybody look what's going down'

time past

for learning the message

time is not on our side

neither side

the message must be 

known                       understood                        felt

is this bye bye liberties and choice

see ya constitutional civil rights

guaranteed   protected

our lives have been maneuvered   

this day            this morn

to 

unknown                                                        uncharted 

legal territories

too late to switch 

why would we

we 've always been

caught in the middle

between 

nothing                  absolutely nothing

standing upon razors edge

well within the jaws of extremis

we the people are now officially

servants

to the king once again

supreme is omnipotent

we are not

exercise our right to free and fair elections 

without government interference

Many, many people believe that this song was written for the Vietnam War... but it wasn't.  It was describing a street demonstration in Hollywood in 1966 when teenagers were protesting police brutality, cops throwing kids in jail just for being out after 10PM.  

How do I know that??  

BECAUSE I WAS ONE OF THEM.

Wow! A very informative write with a very interesting, eye-catching layout! Thank you for sharing, Keith.
I had a Windows 11 update on Sunday evening which caused a lot of problems for me, including deleting all of my passwords. I was unable to create a new password for this site as they didn't send me a link to do so on my own email address but on a temporary email which I could not access and the only way back was to create a new email address and a new account, which I did just a little while ago. Hope you are well, Keith. Love your spirit so finely displayed within this lovely poem. Thank you again for sharing...
