    The memory of rock and roll

     Open your heart to free love
    open your mind,with a dancing soul
    Who forgets amongst a wasteful land
    Lives a memory of rock and roll
    We fought for something different
    Our weapons were a ballad of song
    We spoke together in harmony
    taught all the rights from wrong
    We left that time behind
    Tainted noise that we now hear
    I tell you, just for the music
    I'm trying to get back there
    If I could build a time machine
    It's not for the sex nor the drugs
    It's about the birth of rock and roll
    No war, peace out, free hugs...

    Oh to go back to the time of free love and peace when half the world was alive whilst the other half treaded the dark path. Nice poem. I like this one.

    Love the comment too x

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
