Enough to know we can’t play god with others’ lives at stake

What step are you gonna take to try and set things right in this stolen land?”

The House You Live In

Remembering Gordon Lightfoot!

“Be known as a man who will always be candid
On questions that do not relate
And the house you live in will never fall down
If you pity the stranger who stands at the gate”

I Pity the Country

Originally posted on October 28, 2020

A protest song that everybody needs to hear. Sadly, I suspect few will bother, and it is only preaching to the converted.

“I pity the country
I pity the state
And the mind of a man
Who thrives on hate.
Small are the lives
Of cheats and of liars
Of Bigoted news press
Fascist town criers”
