Campus Hatred Society…
On a Peaceful Fall day,
A Scud Missile is launched your way,
With No Clue that you’re life will be through
In Seconds the Stories will be on The Net & in the News, before we even know what we all lose,
Homes, Once Standing, and, now you’re lying in Rubble, The World is in Catastrophic Trouble. Hatred Renewed The Dove is Stewed
A detached hand is In need of a limb that has been Blown off & pinned beneath twisted steel and concrete, How are we to keep living this way? Tons of Hatred, Nothing is Sacred. The Children are Not Woke to This Cosmic Joke!!!
Nothing is Funny Anymore as The Bartender Cry’s With The Old ****.,
Ivy League Education Suicidal Ideation
Peace Signed & Declined….
Over & Over another Century's Cold Shoulder
Dead On This Day by Rock or Giant Boulder
Soldiers in the Campus Bookstore killing Students & Burning Books before they even knew what for.
Life is not going well for the Scapegoats as the Evil Bully Gloats,
This World is Way of its Axis, just immoral Doings amid Death and Taxes… Your History Professor has just signed a letter Calling for the Deaths of the People You & Your Allies thought you knew better…
Madness is Sadness and Human Pain is a Massive Drain on our Collective Psyche's,
Time is Pressing on and so is A Nuclear Bomb!
Dictators are World Haters, Plotting & Inciting
Rioting & Debating, Losing the Proverbial Thread, Eve Bit the Apple & Now We’re All Truly Lost & Biblically Dead…
PEACE
“What a Long Strange Trip Its Been” & “Fare Thee Well”…Till We All Meet Up Again?
One More Saturday Night’ is Where it all Began,

Days Full of Lude’s & Dude’s David, Bee & Joe… Folks with long flowing

Revolutionary Fate, Bringing Blues & Roots of Americana, From Woodstock
to The Pyramids, Getting Busted on Bourbon Street selling Lids, The Pig
Went Quick & was Done, retold with the hymnal ‘He’s Gone’, Keith & Donna
Had God’s ear, then Keith died with in another Year, Brent & Jerry had a
Special time,
Playing Tunes & Drinking Good old Ripple Wine,
Captain Trips, took Some Long Breaks in between Mighty Sips, Bob, Lesh,
Hart & Bill K
Always kept The Vibes Going on “The Day”
Timothy Leary and J. Cassidy Looked Further then a School which filled the World with A
Knowledge Pool,
Owsley Stanley & His Wall Of Sound, had the Determination of a Blood
Hound, As the People Continued to twirl, with the Beautiful Mountain Girl…
Cape Cod Coliseum 79’, was both Magical and Sublime, MSG with the Big
Blown up King Kong, Ten Shows Cocaine, Fast Food & Beer Pong, Radio
City, Red Rocks & The Capitol, Fillmore West then East, run by a Rock n Roll
Beast, Bill G, A True Friend, as Stanley’s Easel’s Would Bend, Robert Hunter
was the Lyrical Key, So Beautiful Mystical Airy & Free, Bruce H, Mayer, D&C,
The Final Tour 23,
Will Always Be Eternally Grateful & Always Want More For Free… AS WE
ALL SAY FARE THEE WELL, “IN FRANKLIN’S TOWER THERE HANGS A
BELL”, “IF YOU GET CONFUSED LISTEN TO THE MUSIC PLAY”, ON THE
LAZY RIVER WE WILL NOT EVER FADE AWAY…

It’s Good to be The Supreme Court’s King
Where Were You When The Decisions Came Down?
On The Right Side Or Left Side Of The Mound?
A Renewed World Order Has Taken Hold
Almost a Century Since our Blood ran Cold,
Historic Fights For Basic Human Rights
All Men/Persons Were Created Equal
Twenty First Century a Rotten Sequel
Corrupt Justices Whose Spouses Colluded in Their Crimes
Who Could Be Out Holding Fundraisers For The March of Dimes
America is an idea that began When We Declared Our Independence From The British Monarchy
Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton Intellectual Hierarchy
The Constitution Of The United States, The Bill Of Rights and The Declaration of Independence
Powered Us Forward in a Democratic Sentence.
An African American President, A Strong Female Secretary Of State, A Jewish Senator from Vermont Parlayed into The “Trifecta Of Hate”
Obviously Simmering & Stewing Since World War Two, Prejudice Unleashed by the Sight of a Black Man, A Woman and A Jew…
It Was Obviously just Too Much For Some Americans To Bear, As There Orange Hair And Red Tied Man Appeared from The Top of an Electric Stair
Crying Out Like Some MadMan On Crack,
Lying through his teeth yet he had there Back,
MAGA He Said to his Under appreciated Base
Saying anything to sway them with a Straight Face
Disenfranchisement is True and the Feelings Are Real, However, Only MAGA Folks get Screwed by Following “Stop The Steal”
Conspiracy’s and Lies are Not Just Alternative Facts, They Are Corrosive Elements that Can lead to Immoral Acts.
The Laws of This Land that Have just Been Discarded by a Renegade Tribunal Must Wake Up The People & Work To Right The Ship With Renewed Democratic Upheaval
Anything Less & Our Country Might Perish it’s anybody’s guess?
