Idealism

earth
peace
give it a chance
tie-dye t-shirts
modern dance

macrame
and beaded chokers
woodstock
and pot smokers

flower power
zpg
alfalfa sprouts
herbal tea

burning draft cards
American flags
Vietnam bodies
coming home in bags

Kent
Augusta
Jackson state
Detroit Black Panthers
waking up too late

Oh Angela
Oh Beatles
Oh Martin Luther King
gratitude to all of you
for this special thing
