Seasoned

We boomers, as our generation’s called, have lived through two seasons, considered great, during which our values were overhauled -- The Summer of Love and Autumn of Hate. Both brought us together and gave us hope. In the face of injustice, both were staged -- the first, a celebration with free dope, the other a tragedy that enraged. We were innocent in ‘Sixty-Seven; we saw world violence and were appalled. Our attitudes changed by Nine-Eleven; we sought revenge, though we were shocked and galled. While Winter of War passes, may we find The Spring of Renewal and peace of mind.
