Need a place to put this down, maybe get reaction

Meditating, then writing

Rolling through the Summer,
Rolling through the Fall,
Anyone anywhere still standing tall?

Singing songs of Sorrow,
Singing songs of Peace.

Rolling through the Summer,
Rolling through the Fall,
We're marching on together One and All.
