Photos of Ken Jones representing Veterans for Peace, Chapter 099. Photos taken by Vicki Ryder (of Raging Grannies) at the HKonJ rally in Raleigh on February 8, 2020.
Ken Jones also sang from the stage at this rally and here is the song he sang (will share a you tube video if one turns up):
Militarized Mind
(Sung to the Tune of “Satisfied Mind” by Johnny Cash)
(Sung to the Tune of “Satisfied Mind” by Johnny Cash)
I grew up a good boy
and I followed the rules
I knew we were good guys
and the rest of ‘em fools
But when I got older
what truth did I find?
That I had been raised with
a militarized mind.

In schools and on TV
They taught us to hate -
that god loved us better,
that our country was great.

We’re told that we’re free
but look at our jails
the poor in our streets
the war that prevails
but look at our jails

Now it’s time to wake up
leave the lies all behind,
and free ourselves up from
this militarized mind.
