Break On Through



He's not an ai kind of guy
can't teach old men too much
born before transistors
smoked cigarettes for lunch.

Dated before birth control
drafted when eighteen
answers in the library
get twenty years for weed.

Pledge Allegiance in the class
made to pray each day
ladies treated second class
MLK in his grave.

Redskin football in DC
Hitler hiding somewhere
baseball not for everyone
white churches fed despair.

Everybody happy?
Oh, I think not bro
assembly lines so ready
slave ship built cars
 
just row.

Thankful for Marsh Chapel
Tim Leary and his crew
Woodstock and great music
poems with YouTube.

Vibes that rise and freedom
Doors along the way
navigating decades
opening here. 

Let's pray.
