Mike Gentile Poet Rhyme

The Swinging Sixties

there was en explosion
     confines were shattered
a decade of change
     revolutions that mattered

awareness was key
     a political dancer
freedom and peace
     love was the answer

i remember those years
     and the great apprehension
of arriving at sixty
     and getting a pension

no need to have feared
     nothing better depicts me
than to say I have loved
     my swinging sixties
