The Hippie Generation

by Callen Damornen

"Irrational!"

"Love is only for adults!"

Older people tend to say.

"Very well," is our reply,

Eating our hearts away.

Daring and young

And free from strife,

Now's the time to live for us.

Behind us all the pain and sorrow,

Eternity is with us now.

I love life and I want to live it,

No wars or fights but full of peace.

Erasting mistakes of the past generations.

Hope is with us now!
