Ames-1967

The country was turbulent on TV, but not in Iowa The ‘Times Were A Changing’ for most to see, but not in Iowa There was more to sound than snippets or bites, back then in Iowa Each voice was heard when spoken and free, back then in Iowa The kindling burned in most other states, but not in Iowa Ideals were being traded, their price was blood, but not in Iowa The generations still talked and listened together, back then in Iowa The world made more sense away from the madness —back then in Iowa (Dennison Iowa: June, 1980)
