This photo of a Black man was taken in 1935 but it could have been taken today as the unemployment rate for African Americans remains at twice that of the general population.
This photo, along w/ that sign makes a powerful statement. Haunting actually. Strange how history tends to repeat itself, so often, that it's downright prophetic.
I've lost the use of my heart But I'm still alive Still looking for the life The endless pool on the other side It's a wild wild west I'm doing my best
I'm at the borderline of my faith, I'm at the hinterland of my devotion In the frontline of this battle of mine But I'm still alive
I'm a soldier of love. Every day and night I'm soldier of love All the days of my life
I've been torn up inside (oh!) I've been left behind (oh!) So I ride I have the will to survive
In the wild wild west, Trying my hardest Doing my best To stay alive
I am love's soldier!
I wait for the sound (oooh oohhh)
I know that love will come (that love will come) Turn it all around
I'm a soldier of love (soldier of love) Every day and night I'm a soldier of love All the days of my life
I am lost But I don't doubt (oh!) So I ride I have the will to survive
In the wild wild west, Trying my hardest Doing my best To stay alive
I am love's soldier!
I wait for the sound
I know that love will come I know that love will come Turn it all around
I'm a soldier of love I'm a soldier
Still waiting for love to come Turn it all around (4x)
I'm a soldier of love I'm a soldier
Still waiting for love to come Turn it all around (3x)
Still waiting for love to come

One.
A scary situation, and one in which I constantly pray that I remain void of.
Spot on.
A damn shame..
@BigMac
Deep, indeed.
@CO
Yep, sigh.
@Jason
Yes, it does.
@JStar
It's deja vu all over again.
@Daij
That's the sad part, it could be a recent photo.
@Lin
It's not so much repeating as just not changing, unfortunately.
@Don
We all hope to avoid that fate.
@Penny Wize
It is.
