where have all the flower children gone?

so many

angry people, obsessed 

with

hate

and acrimony.

waking up bitter and mean,

so sad,

so sad.

where is the love child

of the sixties,

the kind,

the merciful,

the peaceniks, the aquarians

wanting to make

a better way?

what happened to the flower

children,

with their crystals

and 

astrology, their yoga meditations

and magic

beans?

oh there they are, back on the street

protesting

with their hair dyed

blue and green.
