Flashing back to the Summer of Love

 

Do you remember 1967, the summer of love?
The peace sign was more than a symbol, a dove.
The 60’s movement was becoming clear.
Freedom of speech was in full gear.
Far out, groovy and freaky were part of our lingo.
With a little help from my friends was good for Ringo.
Sgt. Pepper told the band to play.
Tune in, turn on, and drop out were the way.
Monterey Pop festival was the first of it’s kind.
A variety of drugs just blew your mind.
Jimi Hendrix created Purple Haze.
Timothy Leary tripped on acid for days.
Haight Ashbury had such a scene.
The Vietnam war was so very mean.
Psychedelic music put us in the groove.
Anyone stone free, till you could not move?
Tye dye clothing was very cool.
Long haired hippies were the rule.
Fancy colored artwork was vivid and real.
Anti-war slogans were part of our deal.
Be-in’s and Love-in’s were all around.
Progressive rock became the sound.
Flower power made us smile.
Free love was fun for a while.
As we flash back to 40 years in rhyme,
Peace, love and music should be in our time.
