The Man of Freedom
Bod Dylan was a great songwriter and thinker,
many have called him the man of freedom;
he played well and sang anti-war songs
while soldiers were sent to the jungles in Vietnam...
every song became their anthem,
and they sang it much louder
to forget their unpredictable fate
which hung on the mercy of others.
I still play old favorites on my turntable,
feeling the nostalgia of those decades...
they delight me with that message so humble,
giving insight to other soldiers fighting another war
to make our world much safer that it was before;
Bob Dylan's songs strongly talked about peace.
His lyrics weren't written to cause unrest, or start a revolt,
but made citizens aware that fighting was a thirst for the enemy's blood;
it was something so vile that the brain had to abort...
to narrow the barriers that wouldn't make a stranger's heart turn cold.
P.S. Bod Dylan is the songwriter who has inspired me.
