Sag Tell
Tell us all
where have all our hearts gone
that this could happen
that this could be today
_____________________________
Mir Me
what can any one me say
what can any one me do
shouldn’t we keep our heads down
like during slavery, 1938 Kristallnacht, like-
________________________________________________________
wo where
where were all our Police
our protectors
when our ideals needed protecting
and not some politics
____________________________________
de the
the people there
were not peaceful protestors
it was noncivil disobedience
yet it was allowed
________________________________
Blumen flowers
we were the “flower children”
we thought, we thought-
but we were not angels of destruction
we hadn’t learned that yet
______________________________
Sind are
so who are we now
this country this concept
is there still a place for hope
or is that a yester dream
