For Bob

With the recent release of a new biopic film of his life, here is a tribute to Bob Dylan

~

they call you Judas

as your new words ring out

the times are changing                                   

from protest to country pie

and tangled blue thunder, still

they call you Judas

chameleon vagabond prince,

shy harmonica poet drawls

the times are changing

positive forthright street seer

reckless evangelist clown listen

they call you Judas

with fractured tambourine

and ne’er a second thought

the times are changing

on this new morning

minstrel becomes messiah

they call you Judas and still

the times are changing

I think you have summed him and his work up, Graham, even if the Nobel Prize was a bit of a stretch.
