this land is my land
From California to the New York Island
From the redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for you and me.”
— Woody Guthrie
hope for parity
erupts in show of fury
no longer silent

I used to sing that song when I was a kid! 🙂 It brings back a lot of memories… Good poem! It tells a story in just those few lines…not an easy thing to do!
