Summer of Love

Myth and Memory

By: - Aug 19, 2017

Summer of Love

Fifty years later
Summer of Love
Perhaps really wasn’t
Media concoction
Flower power
Teenieboppers
Hitching to
San Francisco
Acid tests
Those classic bands
Playing for free
Golden Gate Park
Owsley Sunshine
Wiggy man
Far ffffen out
They gasped
Kaleidoscope
Visions splashing
Over inner space
Mandala movies
Gazing at lava lamps
Now not so groovy
No illusions
Summer of Hate
Klan rallies
Open carry weapons
Torch light parades
Blue and Grey
Statues toppled
Robert E. Lee
Stonewall Jackson
Icons of racism
The Gallant South
Strange Fruit
Celebrating Jim Crow
Making America Great
Alt Right racists
Zero tolerance for
Neo Nazis
No two sides
One Nation Indivisible
Now and forever
Muthafuggah
