Luckily a child of the sixties realm
Farm girl, busy parents at the helm
Then my world extended
Childhood values upended
Seeing, hearing crowds of dissent
Armies of young men hazardly sent
Mind boggled at reasons for war
NO silence now, outrage was required.
***could be written for today
Shhhhhhh…….Quiet, Please!
The Bag Lady 
Thank you for this. I was another who did not keep silent then. Eventually we did prevail … I wish we might do so now.

“NO silence now, outrage was required.” This is true now and was true in the 60s during the Vietnam war protests. My husband and I shall be at the No Kings demonstration in Boston on March 28th…just haven’t decided what to put on my sign yet. Sadly, so many possibilities.
