History Lesson/1960s

what we

tried

to do

with our dreams,

we hoped to erase all time

errors,

smash with raised strong

clenched fists

all the remaining walls

and bully, bribe, or captivate

any unfavorable gods

against our cause.

so like banners

and flags, our dreams unfurled

before all the world,

we marched

our words we sent forth

as our warriors.

oh how sweet the

censers of victory and freedom

were going to be.

and we wanted never to

dream again,

awake or asleep,

if we could not change the signature

of the world.
