Yes. This song has always haunted me 😢😡. I grew up with a Father who ministered to migrant farm workers 💚✊🏼.
Also “Blowing in the Wind” 🌬️💔☮️
In 1970 I went from “Work for Peace, Nixon Does Everyday” to “Four Dead in Ohio” 🤯
I can’t understand why so many self-professed ‘christian’s’ disregard so much of Jesus’ teachings 🤔. Especially the Love ❤️ your neighbor and welcome the stranger. Let alone Peace ☮️ seeking.
Thank you & Julie for continuing the struggle against hate I’ve grown tired and weary 😥
Thank you, Richard. This song speaks to everything that is happening to these dear people today. They are labeled as “illegals”, “criminals”, “monsters”. No, they are people who work hard, pay taxes, raise families, and make us a better, richer country. They are seeking the promise of the American dream.
The worst part is that these dear people are going to suffer and pay the ultimate price for this madness before a majority of the population will wake up.
Thank you, Kathi! Our country demonizes immigrants who historically have made us a stronger, more prosperous nation. Hasn’t been just picking fruits and vegetables but mining the coal and laying the rails and building the bridges.
Another song comes to mind this morning as we react to the news of the U.S. attack: ‘Where have all the flowers gone? When will they ever learn?’ Thanks, Carol!
I love how this email includes the writing of so many talented writers!
Deeply moving

The lyrics are so resonant today! Thanks for sharing this, Richard.
