(Another way of looking at life... poem)

Stacking bricks in a builder’s yard
I was just eighteen, while my mate
was in Vietnam.
I was building for the future,
he was trying to lay the foundations.

'60s Child

When I was a boy,
Just 8 years of age,
I saw - cities burning,
I saw - fires raging,
In the hearts of men.

When I was a boy,
Just 8 years of age,
I heard - Mothers crying,
I heard - leaders lying,
About Vietnam.

And my Mother cried,
Kennedy had died,
In some city called Dallas,
Far - far away
When I was a boy,
Just 8 years of age.


60s Kid

Angel bars sissy bars and banana seats
The rolling stones what a cool beat

Cronkite 6pm news telling of Kennedys death
Just a young boy i really didnt understand yet

Mother would say you kids go outside and play
Cigar box marbles jacks made my day

Saturdays came i couldnt wait
Fishin for bream boy did i stay late

One particular christmas i remember very well
A johnny seven i got that was sure swell

I knew my boyhood would soon be over
53 chevy it was my time to take over
