Change The World

Remember when—not so very long ago—the streets of Chicago

were filled with fair skinned white boys and girls

convinced to the death to save the world—“We Will Change The World”.

Remember when those vibrant young people burned the Stars & Bars.

The girls burned their bras and panties.

The boys burned their draft cards.

The runners ran to Amsterdam, Canada, destinations unknown.

Shots rang out one sunny day:

“Four Dead In Ohio” it was “The Day The Music Died”.

Un-lucky Lyndon lay across his Oval Office Desk

Cried out to the surrounding Pentagon Polished Brass:

NO MORE BULLETS!  NO MORE BULLETS!

One by one the trigger happy leaders of military creeds

Slithered backward out the Oval Office doors

into the halls lined with Lobbyist of American Greed.

Echos ever fainter followed nipping at their heels;

Disempowering their amputated trigger fingers;

NO MORE BULLETS—No More Bullets…no more bullets…………………

Once again our streets are filled with young people;

Different in heritage and ideas; attempting to change their world.

Who knows but what it was us who taught them how to mistreat

OLD GLORY!

History is a circle that rolls through time and writes the story in blood.

NO MORE BULLETS! No More Bullets……………..no more bullets………………

Sometimes a girl just has to write:  Gaylee
