WHERE ARE YOU NOW JOAN BAEZ?

The times they are a-changing
Where are you Joan Baez?
The sixties are long gone
the Vietnam war and
the Civil Right protests
But now we have apathetic
Baby Boomers
burning down the planet
because they forgot
the sixties and
became their parents
Where are you now Joan Baez?
There are two superstars
on the global stage
two women who need
the support of a
Legendary activist
Greta Thunberg and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
Where are you now Joan Baez?
You know the terrain
you heard the hatred
first-hand called out
at you
You saw the jail
you saw the pain and suffering
you experienced the
resistance to change
You kept on singing
Where are you now Joan Baez?
You are a Legend
you are a Heroine
now come and
mentor Greta and Alexandria
The times they are changing
Donald Trump is burning down America
he wipes his feet on the
American flag every day
he is a traitor to
America and
Humanity
He is out of control
Where are you now Joan Baez
The earth is on fire
the world human society
is lost
American democracy is
under siege
The times they are a-changing
The fires are building
the watershed moment
is upon us
The sixties were local
Nationalism and global warming
are global and
all-inclusive
Where are you now Joan Baez
You don’t have to sing
you don’t have to speak
all you need to do
is stand with
Greta and
Alexandria
they will carry the torch
they have the right stuff
they have the
passion
they are
fearless
They need your blessing
Where are you Joan Baez?
These women and their sisters are
your Legacy
Come Now !!!
