Passing by
Mine’s, a postwar generation
sons and daughters of a status quo,
a baby boom born in hope
sharing birth with the nuclear age,
old empires crumbled down
leaving isms and realism’s
in mindless tricks to passing schemes.
Then, rock n roll shook the stage
a teenage revolution
serving rhythms of change
jet-streaming through the mind.
Psychedelic revelations
visualized liberations
atomic science
and hesitations
as terrorism bloomed
in a cold war's doom.
Mine's an open generation
with rising freedom of thought
a positive legacy
like wide-web awareness
choice and global democracy.
With negatives still
in our environmental demise
and lingering injustices
where bigotry still thrives.
Mine's, by far this far!
Humanities most enlightened
indulging journeyed generation,
future generations ...
will judge well our style.
