Down By the Riverside
I ride the bus from New York to Washington
to protest the Iraq war
At the podium a woman sings a capella
Down By The Riverside
her smooth black voice
full of confidence and determination.
I look at my shoes and realize
these feet once stood
on this same ground
nearly thirty years ago
when I was child
brought here by mother.
The song was the same
but the singer was Pete Seeger
and the war was in Viet Nam.
