7.7.07, an important historical date for the universal peace demonstration going on in a world wide musical manifestation against the abuse of nature
Where are they all,
the ghosts of yesterday,
the pioneers of beauty,
introducing freedom with some vehemence
and starting this new weird romanticism
of limitlessness and exaggeration
in both love and freedom
and with nothing to restrain
the urge of personal expression?
Most of you are dead and gone and buried
in the aftermath of adventurers' recklessness
in experimentation of transcendence
breaking every single barrier down.
I'm talking of the prophets of that universal peace
movement back in the sixties
against Johnson, Nixon and all militarism
to launch as an alternative just freaking out
in love and nature and just being what you are.
They were all right, all those now long since dead,
and their right will remain and carry on
just going on for that eternal quest of constant victory.
