I wish John <br />Lennon had lived <br />to 'Imagine' us into <br />21st century bliss. <br />That we'd all joined <br />hands and started a <br />'Love Train' with <br />the O'Jays in 1976. <br />That we'd run head <br />first into that wind <br />Dylan insisted the <br />answer was blowin' in. <br />Or that like Marvin <br />Gaye we'd asked <br />'What's Goin' On? ' <br />instead of giving in. <br /> <br />...is eternal vigilance.<br /><br />Vi Ransel<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-price-of-democracy/
