o

by wiggly jones, "the little hippie boy"

for previous poem in series, click here





oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
sometimes i feel so sad
and remember the long ago days
and the expectations i had

though i walked the streets in a haze
and ate at wendy’s alone
and slept on a wet park bench
my dreams had not turned to stone

i defied the powers that were
in their temples of metal and glass
in their towers destined to fall
when the truth was revealed at last

it was only a matter of time
it was obvious at a glance
when rainbows would fill the sky
and little children come out to dance

but the days and the years went by
the decades and the centuries
and the towers are still there
not even swaying in the breeze

o dreamers unite!
do not drown in the river of night
keep alive the heavenly flame
in the end it will turn out all right


next
