For the children. For all of us. Lets do this right and make sure Justice becomes real in America.
All we want to do is take the chains off. All we want to do is be free.

Anguish, love, and comfort in Ferguson.
20 years ago the
Bruce Springsteen of the Blues, Luther Allison asked -
"How many heartaches, how many more years of pain,
How many more funerals before these streets be safe again?"
20 years later, J. Cole's anguished song is still asking. The people of Ferguson are asking. People across this Nation are asking.
How many funerals before these streets be safe again? How many more years of pain?
None of us are free if one of us is chained.
It is past time to right this world.
[A huge H/T to xxdr zombiexx for the wondrous Mr. Allison's "Big City Blues" and to Kfunk937 for the amazing Solomon Burke's "None of Us are Free" in the comments.]
