Being 20 in the sixties was so cut and dry
All right being 20 is cut and dry anytime
Solutions seem to exist on the tip of the tongue
How the world survived till your twenties is a miracle
The popular slogan,
“If you are not part of the solution you are part of the problem”
Echoed and reverberated as a standard answer for those
Wondering what is happening with this new generation
Protests and campaigns often melted into life’s responsibilities
Till today when the anguish of injustice
Still smothers, those who it always have
The weak, the poor, those of color, the disenfranchised
Surely time has not stood still
Not quite believable the country still struggles
To understand the fight for justice
Is a life long battle
Fought in other lands and at home
This country was taken from the Indians,
The soil tilled by blacks,
Developed by those with vision
Evangelized by multiple faiths
Any wonder it is sill standing
So hard to hold hands
With those we see as the enemy
Yet somehow, somehow
They are our brother and sisters!
