in the words of Bob Dylan....

how many deaths will it take til he knows
that too many people have died
how many times must the cannon balls fly
before they are forever banned

the answer is blowing
the answer is blowing
the answer is blowing
in the wind

how many times can
a MAN turn his head
and pretend he just doesn't see

the answer, my friend
is b l o w i n g
the answer is
b l o w i n g i n t h e w i n d

and I would add.......

catch what's blowing
in the wind
write it on human hearts
so that lessons
are forever

remembered

not as fighting words
but as peace filled
sonnets to human

preservation
