This Scribbling Might Stay

Woody Guthrie lived in Brooklyn, NY for most of his life. Most people think of him wandering around in the dust bowl in Oklahoma but that's not true. It does by no means render these words any less authentic. At work, I have a bates label machine, and I took the time to put a label with words on it, it reads "This Machine Kills Fascists." It brings me comfort.

"Sometimes I think I'm gonna lose my mind
But it don't look like I ever do
I've loved so many people everywhere I went
Some too much, and others not enough

Well I don't know
I may go
Down or up or anywhere
But I feel
Like this scribbling might stay

Maybe if I hadn't seen so much hard feelings
I might not could've felt other people's
So when you think of me, if and when you do
Just say, 'Well, another man's done gone'

Well, another man's done gone"



Amen, as they say.
