Inspired by Bob Dylan's 'Blowing in the Wind'


Our journey takes on different roads
we make our choices and our beds
no rest for the weary till we're all dead

Time is not our faithful ally
its intentions waywardly dubious
yet fate lays here in our hands

Don't pretend you can't hear the many cries
they're right outside your door
blow the whisle sound the horn

You can't keep turning a blind eye

I love Bob Dylan; he and Joan Baez sang the song 'Blowing in the Wind' so beautifully. My brother-in-law owned every album, and probably still has them. Good song, great poem.
