The Timeless Generation

This is a tribute to those who were themselves An ode to the incredible minds Including Hunter S. Thompson and Jim Morrison Artist born inarguably before their time This is a write to the rebels Those who punched authority in the mouth Bob Marley and Johnny Cash Belong in this crowd without a doubt This is an anthem To those who stand up for their rights Muhammad Ali, Malcom X, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. For the Africans led freedoms fight This is a write For those who have the voice for the ages Jerry Garcia, and Jimmy Buffett Were at their best on the grandest of stages This is a document Endowing guitar god immortality To Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jimi Hendrix, and Dwayne Allman Their names shall live long after their fatality Texas Rock Legends ZZ Top Belong in the guitar god classification Well into their sixties They are still rocking stages for this great nation Pink Floyd is embraced with love Symbolizing the envied acid trip generation Singing mellow songs with an especially deep message Times tarnished by public misinterpretation I’ve mentioned few Of the historic minds I hold dear Though many were lost before I was born I still shed symbolic tears Their messages and combined impact On the generation in which I belong Often could only Be broadcast in song They vocalized their messages To impact segregation They sang songs filled with meaning Often advocating self medication Their memories are priceless Even to those they were never to know Their impact so important Such a significant path drove They lived in controversial times Experiencing events not known to we of today All we know Is what our teachers choose to display Knowledge may be earned By studying these priceless minds Listen to their music, read their messages to the world For you would be so very surprised This art is non-existent In this “Bill Mahr” defined era Rather than banding together, we point fingers With women finally able to vote, they only worry about their mascara The efforts of our former sixties/seventies generations To change our nation has now been proven to have failed For the future has shown Their freedom train was to be inevitably derailed
