Hippie Warning.

Good write, Andy.
The cost to feed, clothe, house, and educate every child on the planet annually is equal to what the nations of the world spend on armaments quarterly. If we don\'t do something collectively to stop it we will create an Extent Level Event in this century.

L. B. Mek said:

yeah, Andy (if only they\'d have kept singing to that song sheet)
but then they all grew-up
realised they needed to infiltrate \'the system\'
to bring about sustained change
and so, now we have weaponised university Grad\'s
with \'warped\' liberal mindset\'s
with no room for a common ground, because
their professor\'s baptised them
in that activism zealotry of blinkered ideology
where inclusivity means
doing everything \'their way, in only one way\'
and free loving\'s freedom
is hijacked by those who endlessly seek: that mirage
of a socialist utopia...
(I\'m sorry my opinionated rambling
took me somewhere political, and far
from the spirit of your write, dear poet
I just think the assassination
of both Lennon and Robert Kennedy
really poisoned that generation\'s opportunity
for genuine change, and so
decades later, we\'ve seen their once - humane ideal\'s
dissolve into such a divisive weapon
against the goodness that still exists in society,
when you think a whole generation of graduates
has been brain washed into believing
that free speech is toxic and needs to be regulated???
that\'s how far those same \'hippies\' have devolved
such a shame, truly...)

Good advice, Andy - but freeing yourself from other\'s expectations can be very difficult - especially if religion and/or culture is in the mix.

I am sitting here waiting for my lost words to find me. Interesting insight.

\"Thee is a place where all the lost words go,\" just as there is for \"Lost boys,\" and \"Misfit toys.\" I believe it\'s called, \"The File of Lost Words\" We all have one in one form or another. It has saved me more than once.
Well, i think you\'ve expressed it best here in your poem, so I\'ll just say thanks for justifying everyone\'s crazy note files. -Phil A.

I keep a dictator recorder on hand so the little lovelies that pop into my head are not lost and don\'t flutter on by. It can be so hard to remember them later, otherwise. Thanks for your poem. I enjoyed it.

I keep a file of lost words, unused phrases. When inspiration fades I will often look at that file and something fires up, starts that chain reaction of creativity, a poem is born.

I think I will try reciting this those mornings when getting out of bed and greeting the day appears far less appetizing than turning back over and returning to sleep. Thanks.
