Bob Dylan

My wife and I are members of a monthly Ukulele and Singing Club in Kyoto. I applied for a place in a live music show where participants honor Bob Dylan wining the Novel prize. We chose his masterpiece “Blowing in the Wind” to play. Before the songs I narrated as follows.
When we look at the lyrics closely, “the answer is blowing in the wind” , it can be interpreted as follows: suppose there are autumn leaves falling in the wind, an answer ‘yes’ or ‘no’ is written on each leaf. This implies that it’s up to us whether each question really comes true like realizing peaceful world or not.
Also I wrote and sang my own lyrics inspired by this Dylan song, which express social problems.
1. How many people will die from being overworked until notorious companies are eradicated.
2. How high will the temperature rise until president Tramp realizes the global warming phenomenon is real?
3. How many atomic-power accidents will occur until natural energy resources will be expanded?
This answer is also blowing in the wind.
