Nice one there, Lady... I like the tone you take, and respect the point of view you present here (even though I don't totally agree with ya! ) While some of the rhyming is a bit forced; I could easily see this one going off quite well as a reading... Thanks for posting!
wow i dig that! i read it all...now i feel guilty for watching tv or listening to cds or playing grand theft auto... but i know wut u mean...... i too wish i could of lived back in them days i used 2 try 2 fit in with 'nowadays' but its just isnt me!
Thank you everbody! I thought it was so appropriate to post here, being hip forums n' such! And I knew many people would feel the same way. Thank you and yes, I do read poetry and am thinking about adding that to my readings. By the way, Iron Butterfly, I have the exact same underwear...HA HA HA... Peace, Love n' everyhting else, Sam
man, youre just groovin to one fashion and not another. its all but i kinda like the first three verses.
I'm stating that I hate the way people are today, clotheswise, belief wise, society wise, everything...I'm promoting the 60s and 70s because I love them, and I'm living them now, but its hard when everyeone else is so simple and ugh...
you must be a very fucking hateful person then man. to hate people because of the way they dress and what they believe....man that's facism. cant you see that's so frickin closed minded? and as for society. dude! society hasnt changed. were living capitalist ideals as much as people were in the 60s. the stereotypical image people have of the 60s and 70s which was oh ever so frickin groovy exists as much now as it did then. people are still groovy they just dont wear flares anymore. honestly! and do not forget! people were much less equal in the 60s. men were expected to be the breadwinners, women the mothers and the housewives. domestic violence wasnt even a crime! it was still acceptable to call asian people pakis! wake up man.
It's curious to me that an 18 year old speaks of the 60's, 70's as if she has lived during those years. A very one sided view, I agree with sunflower, though probably not agree with the way the issue was addressed...
that was so fucking beutiful man.. i am only seventeen so i have never had the chance to live through my favorite time period of all, but i still feel like i have a decent understanding of what went on back then. but honestly that was one of the best poems i have ever read.. and i feel ya on "dark side of the moon"
I liked the poem, I too sometimes dream about living in the days of the hippie, and there are a lot of things about todays society that I really don't like. It wasn't perfect then, either, but at least there was a real counterculture where you could escape to. But I think it'd be better to make a new hippie era today, rather than fantasize about a time 40 years ago.
