short on hippies

short on hippies

A Poem by Kieran James McGovern

Hippies are cool

And hippies are nice but lack

The intensity needed

When it’s time to fight back

To act with tact is fine, in fact

Until all of your rights are snatched

Then the planet needs people

Who are unafraid of evil

Or to cut out of line

And to cause an upheaval

No place for the feeble

No place indeed, however, inner strength can come from the heart and positive thought and by peacefully fighting back :) Not giving the powers that be our fear any longer!
Great work

I loved this piece, short and sweet but ever so truthful.
I miss the angry hippies of the 60s. The hippies of today are just to placid and laid back.
Bring back the social upheaval of the 60s and 70s says I.
