Ohio

Kent State University has a campus nearby, so I've seen the name a lot. That keeps Niel Young's song Ohio running through my head, from a time not so very different from our own:

Tin soldiers and Nixon's coming
We're finally on our own
This summer I hear the drumming
Four dead in Ohio

Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are gunning us down
Should have been done long ago
What if you knew her and
Found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know

Ah, la la la la...

This summer I hear the drumming
Four dead in Ohio
