Modern Day Hippy

 

 

Long ago                                  there were those
when the sound of song             who fought the moulds
erupted from                            of granulated
peaceful protestors,                  social norms.

 

 

These were the hippies,             But ages have distorted

proud to fight for                       their simple message

the world and what                    into a shameful drug

it could be.                                crazed lie.

 

 

Now, with my accoustic            I sit and pluck

guitar strapped                         the obvious and

and hanging                              uncanny simularities

around my neck,                       between them and me

                                                            from the morning air.

 

I'll fight for what I believe         way too important

in and no one can                     in this world

tell me I'm wrong!                    than being cheep

There are things                       exploited and popular!

 

 

Drugs are never                       the freedom to use them

the message which                  however, is something

I have chosen                          that I can unite

to crusade for,                         behind.

 

 

I am the                                  I refuse to be

modern day hippy,                   the product of fads

the evolution of                       (Gothic, Emo,

rebelious heritege!                   Jerk)

 

 

Look inside your                      Not just waste

own soul,                                your time

and see if you                         faking happiness

want to live.                           in a state of constricted bliss.

 

 

Live your own                         That is the voice

life in your own                       of the passive

way!  And                               resistance

damn what others think!         we have all abandoned.

 

 

My hair is long                        Join hands behind

and my eyes                          society!  We'll

are red,                                  sing together

but look past                          as one!

          this visage.

Author notes

Yeah, so my beliefs are a bit outdated, and I probably won't strike a chord against injustice. But I have my guitar, and I have friends who'll stick by me, and that's all I truly need in the world.

Please tell me what you think

    Spoken like a true artist, nicely done. Your beliefs might not be as outdated as you think... there's been a major shift in the last couple of years towards these values again.
