My take on “Blowin in the Wind”

I thought this song was about hope. Dylan sings about different problems going on in the world, such as inequalities for mankind, war, and the suffering of man. He sings about how there are people who just ignore these problems and I could see how that would be the perspective of someone living in that time – overwhelmed and confused by all the injustices going on in the world. But then each verse ends with “the answer”, not specifically stated but an answer none the less. He is singing that there is an answer out there, keep hope and mankind will prevail.
