the sun is sparkling, the rain rumbling, and we badly need some poetry...

Chris Butler - One Poem

Hippie

I was born
a flower child,
but grew up
in the life of pesticides,

dying in the dirt
that once gave birth,
succumbing to the sun
that once nurtured nature,

but what happens
when the fire of
napalm pollinates palm trees
to create life?
