On Listening To Phil Ochs
Died young
yet his songs
remain
behind
He sang about
the poor
and he
sang for America
"Here is a Land full of power and glory"
was the way he put it
he sang for the labor movement
in "The Chain"
He was not loved by all
yet his work is a part
of
American
history
He lives on in his recordings
and in the soul of
this fantastic experiment
we call AMERICA
