1968 Poem by Richard Jarboe

1968, for peace, you're gonna have to wait,
For equal pay, you're gonna have to wait,
When everybody's got a tinder box brain,
Bullets fly, but who's to blame?

1968, a perilous date,
For equal justice you're gonna have to wait,
Every body's dragging their tail,
Try'n to get high and stay out of jail.

1968, MLK d-o-a,
RFK d-o-a,
Everybody wondering who's next,
And where we're headed - any body's guess.
