    Ode to an Era

     From love beads to power drinks
    The Woodstock nation provided the links
    For all to embrace the ideals of a world
    Where peace and love unfurl
    The pains of prejudice and war
    We felt down to our very core

    Someone had to do something
    About the state of our society
    Rife with fear and impropriety
    Hope, love, and peace became commodities
    That evolved into our mores
    In life today, it's still the right way

    Hope, Love, Peace

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
