Poetry: A fallen world

I remember San Francisco

I remember San Francisco, Haight Ashbury and the square
I remember San Francisco, though I really wasn't there....

A few years young to be on my own, a few years young to go all alone
A few fears, and many tears ago
I remember San Francisco

I remember all our dreams, Baby Boomer's flying high
Nothing then was as it seems, and nothing we wouldn't try

I remember San Francisco, Haight Asbury and the square
I remember San Francisco, though I really wasn't there.

Peace and love and healing, fun and laughter filled the air
Our senses all were reeling, this was life beyond compare..

Until some of us let go
I remember San Francisco

How did we loose our direction?
When did we lose the way?
Wars are only rejection
Where's the love that was here yesterday?

I remember San Francisco, Haight Asbury and the square
I remember San Francisco, though I really wasn't there.
Still I'd like to go back again;
I'd love to go back again
This time I won't let go,
Until all of us remember
San Francisco.

    From Creation to Damnation

    Oh what a world!
    Perils, trials and tribulation;
    Rapes in schools!
    Teachers abusing students,

    Take a look around you
    A hard, and truthful glance
    At the world we have created
    In our paths exist no balance

    A Lonely Crowded Place

    a dead mother
    a broken childhood
    a drinking father
    a touchy uncle
    an empty bank account
    another torn heart

    The Word

    Words can't simply explain
    The hurt the hidden pain
    The pangs, of misery felt by the human race
    Long life and happiness
    Is
