Αισίως κλείνει σήμερα τα 83!
Έχει γράψει ιστορία - έχει αφήσει το αποτύπωμα του. Έχει πάρει βραβείο Όσκαρ για τραγούδι του στον κινηματογράφο και βραβείο Νόμπελ Λογοτεχνίας.
Μπορεί εμείς ως Έλληνες να μην αντιλαμβανόμαστε όλα τα μηνύματα του - όπως οι Αμερικανοί δεν θα αντιλαμβάνονταν την "Ωδή στον Καραϊσκάκη", όμως, η ποίησή του τις περισσότερες φορές εκφράζουν τις ανησυχίες του σύγχρονου ανθρώπου με ρεαλισμό και λυρισμό.
How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, and how many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
Yes, and how many years must a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea?
And how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
Yes, and how many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
And how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, and how many deaths will it take 'til he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
