The Songbook of Benny Lament

by Amy Harmon

“People see what they see. They’ll think what they think. And I can’t do a damn thing about it.”

“Do you think history repeats itself?” “Yeah. I do. Because people are people. Life is messy and hard. And change is slow.”

“Violence isn’t the answer. Change is the answer. But that’s hard. A whole lot harder than throwing a punch.”
