Nineteen Sixty-Five
September 19, 2009
Nineteen sixty five,
standing by
drawing yellow chalk lines.
raise my hands above my head,
tap my fingers on the road,
sit cross legged
and demand a change.
take a look,
crumple your history book,
time to make it new.
when you stand for something,
make sure it's believable.
you shouldn't apologize,
it shows weakness.
what say you
says the man,
back up now.
times have changed
and that's okay.
don't look back now
look at your future
and see what it can be,
time to let live and be free.
