Just heard "Only a Pawn in Their Game" for the first time in many a year...what a powerful song...

🎶Today, Medgar Evers was buried from the bullet he caught.
They lowered him down as a king.
But when the shadowy sun sets on the one
That fired the gun
He'll see by his grave
On the stone that remains
Carved next to his name
His epitaph plain:
Only a pawn in their game.🎶
