Is it over?
As the crowd is leaving
liquid inertia and gravity dance
As quarter full beer cans roll
Down the artificial grass
The hippie chick posers
have dropped their patchouli incense
To support their drunken boyfriends
Stumbling towards Dad’s Mercedes Benz
A scene to be seen
Is it possible to pretend to be part of something
That, in retrospect, has really never been?
As a child
I was led to believe you were going to change the world
And you did
It’s just nothing like what you said it would be
Ken and Tim and Jack and Jerry
Are rolling in their graves

“And you did

Great line in a great poem. I like this one a lot!
let me guess:
Ken Kesey, Tim Leary, Jack Kennedy (?),and
Jerry Garcia.Is the world or can the world ever be what someone says it’s to be? I certainly saw hippie chicks supporting drunken boyfriends but I never saw a Benz except in Janis’ song, and even then it was just a plea to her invisible Lord.
Kerouac, but Kennedy was a good guess, and 3 of 4 ain’t bad at all
