How do you like your protest songs or poems? Serious, or satirical? I’m not very good at writing serious stuff like Dylan writes, but sometimes a bit of satire, can make a point, and it can stick in the mind like a comedians punch line, or an ear worm. So let me know what you think.
The Yahoo.
Benjamin met a Yahoo going to the fair,
Benjamin asked the Yahoo
Should I send some bombs out there?
“Send what you like” Said the Yahoo,
“You know I don’t realy care”

Masters Of War Bob.
Come you masters of war
You that build the big guns
You that build the death planes
You that build all the bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know I can see through your masks
You that never done nothin’
But build to destroy
You play with my world
Like it’s your little toy
You put a gun in my hand And you hide from my eyes And you turn and run farther
When the fast bullets fly
