Purple Cow


I've never seen a purple cow

though I have been inside a purple haze

things are different between then and now

when I stumbled around for many dayz


standing in corners watching the crowd

yellow barrels of sunshine enlightened view

Mr Hendrix's Watchtower 90 decibels loud

smiling faces thinking that we really knew


it seemed so simple peace and love

not very real but I so miss those times

burn the bra olive branch and dove

now I just sit and think up rhymes


Dylan's monotone with catchy words

Gracie had her rabbit of white

he was a friend of mine sang out the Byrds

another hit of fresh air tonite


Vietnam changed things so much

yet still again the money rules

you would have thought we had the touch

but once again we are the fools


so maybe it is time once again

to raise up our voices and show them how

we will not just stand around and grin

maybe it's time to see that purple cow

Need a Edwin Starr to raise up a generation. This time the Government is harder and colder. Many bad incidents against demonstrators in the USA. Rich people now control the most ever. The separation of rich and poor is the largest ever. Us in the USA need to walk the street in millions. Otherwise we will fall like the cattle walking into the slaughterhouse. I need to see a purple cow too. Thank you for a excellent poem.
