Songs of protest in a time of change
The times they are A-
Changin...I'll take you there...A
Change is gonna come
Yes, they are all song titles. Bob Dylan, The Staples Sisters, and Sam Cooke in that order. Great songs with great titles. I’ve included the video for Sam Cooke at the top and the other two at the bottom. Please listen to them all. A change is gonna come is my favorite of the three. The song is so powerful in the lyrics, emotion, and message. But all three songs were powerful voices of change in turbulent times.

Vocal & my relationship to publishing traditionally
Ever since my small writing beginnings, when I started writing on Vocal in February 2021, I had been in a truly terrible slump & funk when it came to my writing. I had so many unfinished projects, ideas, half finished manuscripts and first chapters that were going nowhere.

Some excellent choices in here
Thank you for writing this poem. Bob Dylan was born his time. This is an brilliant poem with excellent song to put your poem point across if they don’t get it . 👍🌹🎉
I love that song by Sam cook, A change seem to have been coming a long time though. Hope it is a good change. Unique view of things here. I have it in one of my stories from 500 vocal years ago. :)
Wow.. thanks for sharing my friend...
That was so cool what you did with the title haiku. I think the Sam Cooke one is my favorite as well.
