Come to sunny California They used to say Tell your friends and relative's back home They are welcome any day They too can enjoy the California dream Come one come all Enjoy with us a life supreme Now as we look across the land Houses spread over hills and valleys Freeways that are free no more Congested roads are the rule People traveling north and south Grown accustomed to the hectic pace What has happened to this place? What happened to the peace About which the Hippie's spoke What's happened? Is it that money rules? Real Estate is a game of success And he who prospers turning the most cash Is the winner in the game of life Are there any Hippie's left? They told us the best things in life were free Young as they were they believed it was a new philosophy Where have all the Hippie's gone? Somewhere is California there is a new breed of one Setting in an 200 year old Oak tree And I for one applaud his efforts |

I'm sure they are there but perhaps by a different name. This world goes forward by small leaps not at a steady pace. The world as opposed to the earth which has a set time for everything. Joyce |

Songbird, Great poem you have written here, sure makes you think about yesterday, today, and tomorrow. I assume change happened, and they had to conform or get booted out of the society that seems to rule all. I doubt the man you refer to in the tree will get very far, but he is out there trying at least. Thanks for sharing this here with us.  |

although I was a little young at the time...I am a true hippie at heart. I like the peace they spoke of and the nature.(and the music) A very true and nice write you just wrote. ~Salty |
