Change is a coming

[zipplewrath]

I'm an old man. I've see this before. Watching right now I'm seeing things I haven't seen in 40 years. These kids don't care about all our old arguments, all the old positions we've been fighting over for a lifetime. They don't care. They have their own cares and they aren't going to wait for us to get a clue. They're gonna move on, now.

Trust me, they don't care about Bernie, or Hillary. They don't care about emails, or Bengazi.

Current politicians probably ought to be figuring out if they wanna "get on board", or quietly move out of the way.

1. The times they are a changing!

2. My hope: upcoming generations who look down on needless weapons--and all that means.

3. We tried it their way

The good guys with the guns didn't stop anything.

These kids have a new way. It's their turn.

4. I, too, am an old guy

A change has been needed for some time. I follow politics a lot. This next cycle is going to be a game changer.

The tone of politics has to go positive and be focused on benefits to the citizens.

5. Cue Dylan:

The Times They Are A-Changin'

Bob Dylan

Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'.
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'.
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.

The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'.
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'.

6. For over 50 years I have been waiting for

people to take to the streets like they did in the sixties.

Will there be sit ins? Will there be riots.

Will schools be taken over? Will radical groups rise up?
