Notes About The Poem

What's changed since Bob Dylan wrote the song which this poem's title plays off of?...What's changed since Ancient Egypt?...

The Times They Aren'T A-Changin'

Soldiers dying,
      Wives crying;
      Politicians lying,
      Wise men 'why-ing.'

      The media's ablaze,
      Sexual harassment crazed;
      In the rest of the world
      Terrorism's unfurled  

      The world careens forward,
      Never turning back;
      Technology's king--
      It's civility we lack!

As Emily Dickinson might have put it: "Shhh, Don't tell. That makes two of us, you know." (See her poem, "I'm Nobody.")...At any rate, the truth wlll out (eventually)...Thank you so, so much for the encouragement! :) Gershon
