The times they are a-changin

I have the vinyl the tapes and c ds
Now I can stream whenever I please
There one in the pile, one I adore
One that meant much and now even more
For when I was young 
it was just a sweet song
But now I am old and I got it all wrong
For who could imagine what we would live through
And now for our children and grandchildren too
So will those who can , will they answer the call?
For if’n they don’t 
then God help us all.

David Crandall Date: 2/9/2025 4:21:00 PM Hi Margaret, it's a pivotal time, it seems. God help us. Great poem! I love Bob Dylan and folk music and 60s music. Isn't it great to be able to stream everything now? I wrote a sendup called Archimedean Homesick Blues. Probably only Dylan fans/math majors like me could relate to it.

In the 60s cheers and take care.

Jan Terry Date: 2/6/2025 11:27:00 PM Margaret, your poem relating to Dylan's words in the '60s is so revelant now that it could easily be another verse to his song.. I pray your plea for action is answered before it is too late. Great poem. May it place well in the contest.
