Michael Degenhardt Poet Quatrain

The Times Were Changing: the Sixties

It was a time of turbulence and of change
We saw the take-off to the moon
A president shot by man, deranged
The Beatles break-up was coming too soon

King had been to the mountain top
Inspiring the world for a needed turn
Vietnam policing just didn’t stop
With protests requesting the government learn

The days were young, change past due
The sixties arrived with a bang
With riots, protests, the British too
It was a time of which we sang

Don't forget they just found out they were lied to about the one gun theory.Friday Nov 22, 1963 was the start of the downfall in Washington. 1964, I graduated high school in the height of the British Invasion. God, I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Vince
