POETRY - SPIRITUAL


Yippee Hippy

The alluring world of progressive psychedelia, hippy dropout acid culture,
Long haired freaks in trench coats, velvet bell bottom flares & leather boots.
Turn on, tune in & drop out, ran the gurus mantra of the era,
But what programme he was in, is anybodies guess.
Purple haze & strawberry fields, connotations symbolic & real,
Ummagumma & Troutmask Replica, gargantuan mindbenders,
Apparent nonsense, revealed subtlety but suddenly, in chemically altered states of consciousness.
A mystical secret, revealed to the few kindred rebels bonded,
In a war rejection, love centred, anti sociological drop out culture.
Where is it now, on a truer spiritual search without the trappings,
Of a blinding & misguiding, centrally conceived, chemical experiment conspiracy.
