13 Seconds 67 Shots (Ken State Massacre) "Written on the 40th Commemoration of the Kent State murders...written in the style of CSNY (Neil Young)"1 From the Victory Bell, over Blanket Hill, no one closer Than a football field, but close enough to hell...no one Over 20 years old but old enough to kill 13 seconds 67 Shots at 12:24 P.M. 13 seconds 67 shots, 4 students... 4 students laying dead...Is lady Justice blindfold or blind? Waitin' for the truth, who ordered fire? How many more Years? To hide a lie in a little truth, how many more tears Shed Till a brave soul comes forthSources1jeffpowers.net: 13 seconds 67 shots kent state massacre↩
