people who defy tradition men and women with a higher aim, contrary to standardized theories probing id for Om conventional thinking thrown out the window along with competitiveness just want to groove nothing to prove rethinking days of sixties' glory wandering through life staying in one place until bored praying to acid freak gurus for the pitiful poor love and peace evermore name of their game . . . gettin' down, man sing loud and clear they had good cheer purge societal ills which scourge the land don't fit in gypsy blood, bucking the rule of law old out of place for this new world order current ways flawed, dig it, man establishment has a bad scent too many living in dungeon cells not the fat cats though, they got all the bread in the cool sixties they had truth dude, let it all hang out their mantra tune in, drop out, better red than dead open all the jails we shall prevail hate moderation screaming acid trips where its at happy pilgrims to their gurus why don't everyone over thirty-years-old just die off so we don't have to kill you world order change home on the strange revolution gonna come, steadfastly searched for the flame forever lowered intelligent bar lighting that fuse blow up the how things now stand anything better sheiks, maharishi, modern-day czars dude, dig the sky iron butterfly oh, no! timothy leary is dead communes broke up jealousy ruled the day just like their parents did some went out twenty-story windows feeling good all the way down, dude party over old hippies sad just like their dad ~ If you don't want gays in the military, make the uniforms ugly. ~ |

You make a good point Jerry and I love the blast to the past and memories of my older brothers in those free love days. It's funny that back then I wasn't a hippy but now every one thinks I was one (guess I'm just cool like that)  Lori |

I was too young to enjoy all the hippie days, but seen woodstock, and sure have seen and heard enough about those days. Seems like the best of times. Liked this Jerry a good write. Dreamgal *smiles* |

Haha! Yeah, Lori, maybe that's it, you're a cool momma. Thanks for the input. Well, actually, dreamgal, although it did seem like the best of times, but there was plenty wrong with those days, I'll drop another poem about the sixties soon perhaps. Thank you for being here. ~ If you don't want gays in the military, make the uniforms ugly. ~ |

Beliefs come and go, it looks like we are in permanent search for the ideal way of life (where responsibilities are hopefully small ...), but then - just like you state so very well here - it all proves to be temporary bliss. The picture you painted of those Sixties is neat and thought provoking, dear Jerry! Love, Margherita |

Thank you, Margherita, I do believe you "got" the message. ~ If you don't want gays in the military, make the uniforms ugly. ~ |
