Oh how admire the young woman, I write of in my little tribute. A song from Bob Dylan’s Infidels, could quite easily have been about her. The song I refer to, is of course Licence to Kill, follows a brief extract.
“Well he worships at an altar of a stagnant pool, and when he sees his reflection he’s fulfilled. Now man is opposed to fair play, he wants it all and he wants it his way. But there’s a woman on my block, sitting there in a cold chill, she says who’s gonna take away his licence to kill..
Young Lady.
Oh young Lady, you’re my hero,
For spelling out the truth.
It’s such a rotten shame,
It’s costing you your youth.
I feel guilt in asking you,
To carry on the fight.
So many people in this world,
It just doesn’t feel quite right.
Your belief so strong, against a world gone wrong,
The sacrifice your making unprecedented.
One day I know, if we make it through.
Your name in rock will be cemented.
You do so much, I do a little,
Let’s just hope we make things better,
I’m just in awe of the work you do,
Our lovely brilliant Greta.
Meadowhead Bard.
