Bob is 80 today

.... "I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken
I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children ...

I heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world ...

Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley ...

I heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin'
I heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin' "...
