Candles In The Rain

From dwilliams20The threat of a draft and anhilating Iran. We must lay down or prejudice an light candles against the darkness of the world. Understand each other's ways of thinking and speaking, stop pretending we're always doing the right thing. Look at what we do and think of what is right march chant and demand what is right instead of just pretending by living online think posting will solve the issue. Share each other pain live to understand there issues as well to take the burden off of yourself. Share the leftove wine. Lighters and matches of hundreds of thousands of people light up a hillside in Bethel New York. Rain drenched muddy, sewage leaking wreck that hill became. Trash everywhere because moving in that large crowd was impossible. You become close to your neighbors chanted for the rain to stop. While you watched the bigest names in music and new face become success overnight. Melanie Skafka was one of such newer faces at Woodstock. Her successful set on the first day propelled her into stardom. Lay down is her depiction of Woodstock but it also runs parrell to how protest run when effective. Chants, becoming collective rather than individuals. However, the some of the footage of the Woodstock cleanup shows false senses of community. Which she as well points out taking advantage of those who do the work while ignoring to help those people. Leaving without taking garbage or not supporting the fires at the campsites, tipping hot dog stands these are som of the selfish acts that occurred. Learning from others and what people thought of the movements of the youth. Melanie wrote on how people twisted and warped the meaning of songs to fit there needs rather then understanding song. The same can be said for white culture stealing African American musical traditions instead of understanding them. Look what they've done to our songs. Finally I'll drink you my leftove wine if you drink mine. It is uncomfortable to take part in others pain. However, by sharing an being part in others pain. We can ease each other's pain. If we all take bits and parts of many people's pain. Thing begain to hurt less and our pain lessons as well. We begin supporting those around us. Right now all of us collectively in the world weather or not we know can't stand the taste of each of our owns leftover wine.
