SING A SEEGER FOR JUSTICE

 
 
 
Have you noticed
That protest marches are now marred by violence?
 
Have you noticed the noise, the chaos?
 
The death !
 
Have you forgotten the songs?
 
Where Have All The Flowers Gone?
 
If You Had A Hammer,
Would you hammer out
A lilting cry for justice?
 
WE SHALL OVERCOME
If we remember the message:
 
Next time you go out into the streets
To demand justice,
Remember Pete Seeger:
 
Sing, Sing a Song !
Sing it loud, Sing it long,
 
The word is the sword of justice;
The music is the spoonful of sugar
That helps the medicine go down.
 
Sing a Seeger for Justice.
 
 
Phyllis Carter
