BITTERSWEET EPISTLE


 


 


Bittersweet epistle


Dylan


Spoke of social change


Nobel 60’s movement


Sentimental protest


Gone


The days of dialogue


Banter between comrades


Violence


Raw


So brutal


Crushing mass response


No debate submitted


Religious lines grow deeper


Commercialized excess


Aggressive ways of Islam


Clash of ideology


Rumors of war


Only strife remains


Prayers for our children


Soon


Preponderance


Melts into indifference


Peace is found within


Love


A conscious choice

I'm watching a documentary on Bob Dylan tonight. He and Joan Baez were my favorites back in those immortal days when there was worth to fighting for what was/is right. People turn their heads now. It's a shame .
Love,
Susan

When love is a conscious choice, there will be no more strife.

God bless you. Kathy
