Where have all the flowers gone.

The children. Where are the children?

No matter if anyone answers. Posted these for me. I have been listening to old tunes and crying. I am so tired of the horrific abuse of this admin. The damage to the wee ones that we may never be able to correct. The damage to every living being on this planet that I pray, and I am not religious, will survive.

The answer is blowing in the wind.

Peace. Out.

1. Thanks, two of my little pleasures also.

[sheshe2]

3. Sniff. ;(

Thank you RG. Good to know you are in a similar decade as me and appreciate the struggle we went through then and again fight.

2. Thanks for this!

I have the same therapy, by the way. The last couple of weeks I've listened to PPM on youtube, seeing as how I've been in the process of moving. Once the turntable is unpacked, though, out comes the vinyl, where every little scritch has become part of the harmony. And in exquisite timing, our PBS station has been running PPM'S 50 year retrospective. Just yesterday I was thinking about their "Go Tell It on the Mountain", maybe changing the refrain to "Let my children go!"


Peace, indeed.

4. I love you, madame.

Love my Tee shirt as well.

Yes we need a lyrics change. "Let My Children Go" I picked songs with the closest lyrics I could get for today. I love PP&M.

6. Backatcha, friend.

And when things have settled down a bit, remind me to tell you my little PPM story.
Meanwhile, suffice it to say that Mary's passing was the ONLY time I ever cried for a celebrity's passing.

8. Will do.

Mary was a shero to me and her passing hurt.

5. I am so depressed after hearing

the audio of the crying kids who had just been separated from their parents. I love that song and remember it very well in another bad time. Hugs!

7. Our history is filled with to many tears.

Um, I listened for a second and turned it off. The images alone have devastated me.

Love you too.

9. I forced myself to listen to it

It was just horrific. I can't imagine being there but unable to comfort them. I don't know how those people do those jobs.

10. Some are cold and heartless.

One guard joked that their cries were a symphony. Some I guess steel themselves and others are leaving.

I just don't know anymore.

11. Thanks.

12. ...

Ah she. Whenever I hear those two songs, I think of this one:

We’re so lost right now.

[sheshe2]

13. If they were here today.

They would have been fighting tooth and nail for the children.

thanks sheshe2 for reminding me of all these great songs. I used to listen to them all the time and we need them now.

20. They don't make protest songs like they use to. ''Peter,Paul and Mary'' my first record album 1963
