Power to the people,
stomp your feet,
Hold up your signs,
exercise freedom of speech,
...
As I walk to the farmer's market,
just down the street
traces from yesterday's murder,
still draw crowds and the victims blood still reeks,
...
Oh yeah B,
I be paying dat rent,
but dat 2 bucks
is da' best I ever spent.

Power To The People
Power to the people,
stomp your feet,
Hold up your signs,
exercise freedom of speech,
take a chance,
beat the heat.
Let me see the fists
scream a little harder,
see that, women being arrested,
for speaking of something she believes?
guard her.
They think they're being hurt on their side,
take a look at ours,
we get shot in the head,
boy!! Believing in something you know is right,
is really,
awfully hard.
Brooks' 7th grade English teacher here... I thought of you tonight when I heard about the death of Hunter S. Thompson. Did a general web search for your name, which led me here. Not all that surprised, but proud to see you continued your writing journey. Remember the famous person I said you would be like someday? I still have a copy of your writing portfolio. I hope you and yours are doing well. I am still teaching, but not in KY. I am now in TN, happily married, with two little ones. Anyone who knows Brooks, email me and updat me on how he is doing these days. barbiegriffith@comcast.net Thanks! ! !
