Day 249: God bless the truth


365/249: God bless the truth, originally uploaded by riekhavoc.
God Bless the Grass by Pete Seeger

God bless the grass that grows through the crack.
They roll the concrete over it to try and keep it back.
The concrete gets tired of what it has to do,
It breaks and it buckles and the grass grows thru,
And God bless the grass.
God bless the truth that fights toward the sun,
They roll the lies over it and think that it is done
It moves through the ground and reaches for the air,
And after a while it is growing everywhere,
And God bless the grass.
God bless the grass that breaks through cement,
It's green and it's tender and it's easily bent,
But after a while it lifts up it's head,
For the grass is living and the stone is dead.
And God bless the grass.
God bless the grass that's gentle and low
Its roots they are deep and it's will is to grow.
And God bless the truth, the friend of the poor,
And the wild grass growing at the poor man's door,
And God bless the grass


I'm back from Boston. Tomorrow, gone from 6am til 11pm for a training in DC. Then Wednesday, to Pittsburgh for my grandmother's birthday. Busy week!
