compared to now, 68 was Shangri-La

repeat

and rinse.

another left wing

nut with a gun

on the loose.

another

bomb planted,

another violent protest.

another attack on cops

and politicians.

another town

taken

over by radical Islamists

bent

on burning the constitution.

another

mayor letting

the city burn,

allowing the streets to look

like a slum

in New Delhi.

another city

handing out free dope and syringes.

more fraud

and gender dysphoria.

children are being mutilated

by physicians.

Ivy league professors

can't even define what

a woman is.

although a third grader

can by

saying just two words.

vagina

and penis.

and i used to think 1968

was a confusingly

bad year.
