Our local news tonight reported on Connecticut troops being sent to Iraq. As the tension rises, I can only say that I am truly worried and angry. I usually do not do this but I just finished Laura Nyro's biography 'Soul Picnic' and I felt compelled to quote one of Laura's poignant songs:
Come on people come on children come on down to the glory river gonna wash you up gonna wash you down gonna lay that devil down Come on people come on children there's a king at the glory river and the precious king he loved the people to sing babies in the blinkin' sun sang we shall overcome! Come on people sons and mothers Keep the dream of the two young brothers gonna take the dream and ride the dove we could build the dream with love I got fury in my soul fury's gonna take me to the glory goal in my mind I can't study war no more save the people save the children save the country Thanks for letting me share.
