What Conscience Is To Shame (This could go on forever.....) +1

Joplin was to Southern Comfort,

what Hendrix was to smack

Morrison was to masquerade,

what Dylan never lacks

Woodstock was to 69,’

what music was to time

Saigon was to those who stayed,

what Auschwitz now reminds

Kennedy was to hopes and dreams,

what nightmares were to some

Castro was to leftist thugs,

what cymbals are to drums

Kissinger was to Nixon

what Canada was to home

Dr. King to civil rights,

what kings are to their thrones

Walter Cronkite was to news,

what intention was to fact

Altar boys were to Priests,

what pretzels are to snacks

58,000 were to die,

what a wall was to proclaim

58,000 were to all,

what conscience is to shame

Is Love Forever Young

Is a poem ever finished,

 a song completely sung

Does today end with tomorrow,

—is love forever young
