 If I were hungry and all food
 banks were empty I wouldn't
 demand a loaf of bread I'd take
 it. And I wouldn't do it alone
 and there would be a new law
 out there. And when a factory
 pumps poison into a river or
 the atmosphere it must be
 closed. And when all of our
 correspondences are done in
 electronic media and people
 say you can't do this, you
 can't think that then we will
 turn the tables. Or destroy 
 them. Sometimes all the dreams
 are right and real and come
 true while the reality is
 a passing chimera.

    let all the wild flowers blossum under the hot sun of day
        let a billion voices speak their divers visions
            let we the people know and understand
               who we are and what is happening
                      don't tread on us
