We boomers, as our generation’s called,
Have lived through two seasons, considered great,
During which our values were overhauled --
The Summer of Love and Autumn of Hate.
Both brought us together and gave us hope;
In the face of injustice, both were staged --
The first, a celebration with free dope,
The other a tragedy that enraged.
We were innocent in ‘Sixty-Seven;
We saw world violence and were appalled.
Our attitudes changed by Nine-Eleven;
We sought revenge, though we were shocked and galled.
While Winter of War passes, may we find
The Spring of Renewal and peace of mind.
