A Hippie's View On Serenity

People can you dig it?
The time's are changing fast.
Global warming,violence,
how will our planet last?

Some are killing each other.
I say make love not war.
Everything could be groovy,
when nothing's worth dying for.

It's far out,man to think of
simple peace and harmony.
All people stretching out their hands
across the groovy sea.

So everybody let's be cool.
Just open up your eyes.
Let's give peace a chance,you dig?
It's the tranquil man who's wise.

This is just like the songs of the 60's, so many of them used phrases like the ones in your poem. Way to go. Congrats on this write for the 60's!
