“Over the Rainbow” with Hillary

September 22, 2016 ypadmin

For Yip’s son Ernie Harburg, Hillary Clinton is the feisty girl named Dorothy. and the song “Over the Rainbow” is a mantra for social justice, immigration, anti-bigotry and for believing in the right of home to be anywhere you land. The rest, including Trump, is all humbug. Read all about it in Nancy Cohen’s “The Song – ’Over The Rainbow’ with Hillary – One Son’s Dream” in the Huffington Post.

Heavenly Vaults
 
Where banks all look like temples,
And temples look like banks,
Where does one count his blessings?
Where does one offer thanks?
 
You sense the holy places 
By the faces in the ranks,
The bankrupt in the temples,
The worshipful in banks.
