From the 1960's To the 2020's

In the '60's I thought we were headed to the Stoned Age
    Psychedelics were huge, PCP was everywhere
  Yet by the '80's America had turned the page
    Teen-agers newly serious, off came their hair ... 

  And today, post-pandemic, where do we stand
    Seems it's every man for himself
      ~ Never mind where we land

a wise observation, gershon! i hate the "every man for himself" mentality, but that is indeed where we seem to be lately...

The pits are too good for us, methinks.
