How Many More ?

This goes out to all the people who have fallen to bullets. From a mad man’s gun or mad men’s governments & pet peeves.


It causes a deep anguish to see what happened at V Tech. Innocent lives lost. Some, just as they were blooming. Others, just as they were causing a few to bloom. May thier souls rest in peace.

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
Yes, ‘n’ how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, ‘n’ how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they’re forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind,
The answer is blowin’ in the wind.


How many times must a man look up

Before he can see the sky?
Yes, ‘n’ how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, ‘n’ how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind,
The answer is blowin’ in the wind.


How many years can a mountain exist

Before it’s washed to the sea?
Yes, ‘n’ how many years can some people exist
Before they’re allowed to be free?
Yes, ‘n’ how many times can a man turn his head,
Pretending he just doesn’t see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind,
The answer is blowin’ in the wind

    Kavi: Just beautiful. It just stopped me from posting today and left in silence…..

    Beautiful words… How many times – we do not know as you said and it keeps rolling as long as we keep running with or against the wind to fulfill our dreams. But some are shattered like this and just pray for all those families who are in pain….

    How many more lives need to be scarificed for our leaders to realise that weapons can only KILL?

    seriously kavi, do people have the power to change the world if they want ? I am close to giving up. things wont change till elected politicians start listening to the very people who elected them!
