Footprints in the Wind^sm # 938

There is another way
Banks have cut off our money supply
Wait for the flow to start again or
Is there another way?

There is another way
Buy tomatoes from slavers’ hands
Or burn all that oil to get them here or
Is there another way?

There is another way
Live with oppression or
Start a war or
Is there another way?

There is another way
Plead for a job
Or live in tent city or
Is there another way?

There is another way
The needs we had last summer
& people to meet them still exist
There is another way

Please pass it on.

from each there
can be
no return
So—
Do what you have
an inkling to do!

It is possible for people today to come up with something new that people adopt: consider how many centuries of lugging it took before anyone thought to put on wheels. So too our meetings: where can we add wheels?
