Value

Who are they to judge us?

Is it simply because our hair is long?

What do they know of right or wrong?

You don’t need to carry your own agenda

Just get brainwashed with the propaganda.

Concealed in your little mind

Afraid to venture forth

Because what you might find.

Supporting war.

Well what for?

Making mothers cry

Making brothers die.

Ahh but it’s about the money.

A language everyone understands,

How will you go making amends?

Oh upon you is the eye of hell

And no quarter, no silver bell.

So what’s the plan?

Sneak into heaven

Before the devil knows you’re dead.

Oh sir. for your very soul I dread.

Quite a philosophical work. Great write GH! SBear ******************

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.
