PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

what happened to the protests?

and the long haired hippie freaks?

they are all way over 60

soooooo burned out, gives me the creeps



and what happened to that spirit?

that Spirit in the Sky?

what has happened to my world...

that I sometimes wish to die?



and remember how we thought someday

we might even change this place?

we felt that our message

would save the human race



we had concerns about ecology

and our animals and forests

now we drive cars ever bigger

and our parking lots are growing



and what have we all turned into...

or am I the only one?

once ideals were so important

now it's comfort, all we want



a vacation by the seaside

and a big fat S.U.V.

laptop/cell-phone/digi-cam

90 inch color T.V



and to think there was a time

when guitars a song and wine

could make us happy all night long

and make us dream of better times



now we have all that we wish

a big fat house, and a fancy dish

how long a go it seems today

when peace and love were everyday
