Calling all 60's tragics - take your seat on the grass please! Please...

Views in Verse on free love

Maybe John Lennon was right...
it sure was popular at time...
or a few years on from the Bellamy Bros...

"Mumma's ways and the Woodstock nation?"

What a contrast it was!!!








"I don't want nothin' heavy just my baby in the back of my Chevy...kiss away my blues in the full moonlight" The appeal soon returned to the traditional a few short years later but...

without doubt the most powerful political period of our time ...fueled by views, fashion and music that are still popular today!




Freedom's Child


I see you getting about campus
My eyes seem to follow you
As you caste out smiles to all around
'in train' your captive crew

Somehow today I caught you alone
Your presence just drew me there
Up close you enchanted me more
With that flower...
at rest in your hair

Then you tell me you're
a 'freedom child' ...
There's karma in all you view
How you get a little lost on
serious stuff
Not looking for a partner true

You say you see yourself
in a perfumed garden
With nature as your best friend
Growing wild
Just giving
No 'one' man ...your favours lend

Seems to me you're just history girl
Letting 'free love'
be your charm
Hey ...I thought that kinda died
With the hippies child
In the rain on Yasgur's farm

In truth ...you see yourself as
the hottest thing going...
 with a heart that can't be true
But hey...
Watch this Cuban heat seekin' missile babe
Cos I'm aimin' it ...right ...at you
( Yes I am)
