It was heartening to read about the protests people held yesterday against the current king-like presidential regime. Any administration that's as heartless and reckless as the present one deserves loud condemnation, to say the least.
Since reading about yesterday's protests, "Wake Up Everybody" by Harold Melvin And The Blue Notes has been on my mind. I've always liked the tune since first hearing it as a child in the '70s. Its lyrics about creating a fairer, more compassionate world are especially resonant now among those of us who voted for the president's opponent. It's demoralizing to know that the vision outlined in "Wake Up..." will be delayed, at a minimum, over the next four years. It's encouraging, however, to remember that a great many of us support that vision and are making our voices heard.
