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 satellite dish

how long a go it seems today

when peace and love were everyday



to see our neighbor's all we'd do

is cross the street, shout out, "Hey you!!"

now everything's through internet

a cell phone talk is all we get



so cyber,phone,and tele, sex

I wonder what will be the next

maybe a program from Japan

to tell me who I really am



but in the meantime here I sit

by this machine to nit my wit

I critisize this modern craze

but in it's spell I spend my days



I guess that is the way it goes

where we'll end up

nobody knows
