Replying to a comment on:

A New Deal (Free verse) by oneglove

Down on Pennsylvania They’re putting on a show But I’m here in Anacostia Cause I got no where else to go It wasn’t long ago I was marching down that avenue My uniform’s a bit more tattered My soul’s gettin that way too They say start headin home But it’s all the same to me The dust in Oklahoma Bread lines in Tennessee When brother’s march And fathers’ betray And the ideals you fought for Have all passed away America is burning America is burning to the ground

Yeah, Dylan or Pete Seiger could have sung it. Not bad.
