Poor Boy's Blues
The poor boy's blues
that's what's a matter with me
I have them through and through
my clothes has them too
take a look at my shoes
you can see through'em
don't tell me you can't see
the blues...have been around
here for awhile...the blues
have moved in here with me
but fuck 'em... fuck the blues
I wouldn't know what to do
or how to feel without the blues
on my ass and my heart and soul too
because I have never seen
very much that would make
me not feel the blues

how could anybody like what they see in this world and I can remember when we were living in a much better world...I was 12 in 1960 and that is probably the luckiest draw to get during the 2oth century...I got to live those young years in a good time

yeah you did:)...but that wasn't really a movement...it was a dream of a wish..otherwise it would have really materialized into something permanent..instead we got the same old militant response we always get and the same result. cowering and running away..especially after they threw Ali in jail, killed MLK, Malcom X, and John Lennon among others...but I'm sure all the acid and weed and dancing was nice..

I have wrote a series of poems...The 70s...a decade of drugs... and it is true in the 70s any kind of drug was available and cheap...compliments of the CIA...I was given an address of a drug store in Chicago that sold anything in 1975 and I have a lot of guilt feelings about what I done to fuck up the world but it was all a plan...all along and this is what we have now
