American Dream

Perfect Daddy, suit and tie, wide brimmed fedora,
Mommy blue dress and bangs, Billy and Susie and
the dog, all smiling gleamingly, brightly, driving
into the future….

…was the hook, line and sinker we boomers swallowed
in Eisenhower Golden Material Dawn of The Greatest
Country/Show On Earth as we were told…

…not no more…brief feast on carrion whale of a dream,
beached on the shore of greed …endangered? Ha!

Dinah-Shore-See-The-USA this way nevermore….
How-Sweet-It-Isn’t-Gleason gurgles in his grave…

Even-when-it-could-have-been-Sixties, Psycho-spiritual
Revolution, LSD and meditation to overthrow Rational Mind
subverted and stunted by Power and Control….

So save that vision ‘cause a vision like that you don’t see all at once…
…and it’s all on record: Frank Zappa, R.A.W., Bill Mahr, Joni
Michell and the rest of them…
… grass grows through cracks in the concrete now and forever…
…nature finds a way, the truth will be told….time is irrelevant...
...the Buddha arose.
