May 1970, the Vietnam war was deeply unpopular
Protesters and activists gathered at Kent State
They demonstrated against the war
The National Guardsmen were called out
Shots fired in the haze of panic
National Guardsmen killed four, wounded 9 more
The debacle soon led public opinion to shift away
From support of a war, in far away Southeast Asia
Horror at home, protest of a continued state of war
Kent State's killings led the country to a realization
Unjust war destroys the state of a nation
