[bodytext] => An older man's tears less socially acceptable All that teenage angst was meant to fade Was it Sugar Magnolia or Scarlet Begonias? I can't remember the encore they played A different time,a distant place The Dead jamming in the park for free We lived outside the law but still were honest I hummed you so soft that Ripple melody Everything now is available,all taboos they are broken Except the ones which remind of the hidden cost We have gained the world,secuced every far flung land I look at life so different now,hardened to the loss These grubby,sweaty hands can barter with the best Chic,calm,cool within this box of rain Its nagging beat pounds on my oak-lined door Blessed Prozac,the chosen drug to keep us truly sane The mystics' god so inward looking,quite detached He or she or it no longer intevenes Swap for cheque book religion offering victory every time No place for compromise with a person's real life scenes Left and right,quaint terms of obsolete party games George Orwell's visions packaged into TV shows Even Greer and Lydon made cameo appearances To cut or boost the ratings no one really knows Sex no longer sells the dream,it kills each one it meets Just war graffit spells out Bush's glory dream We know our origins and perhaps our final destiny In the here and now praise release from that sixties vision Downloaded all the Fillmore bootlegs for my teenage son I attend classes in how to be a moderate family man New age , ice age , old age , mir - age Time to embrace the man, O - MAN WO - MAN ! A - MEN !

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
