Women are treated as unjustly in poetry as in life. The feminine ones are not idealistic, and the idealistic not feminine.

It was a wonderful time to be young. The 1960s didn't end until about 1976. We all believed in Make Love, Not War. We were idealistic innocents, despite the drugs and sex.

Jack II
There is a Father in heaven Who reveals secrets,
And emerging from a realm to rule the world;
But, our feet are blocked by the stones of Satan to hear His words.
Thrilling acts from the weaves of the sea!
With valued access to the mind of the teacher;
But, who will blame me for losing you to someone else?
To the idealistic of your muse,
To the idealistic of my mind,
To the works of peace and love from the Creator Almighty! !
For, He cares for us all.
The utopian act of man!
Jack where are you?
For, i am from Ethiopia with my words;
But, if real money had made you what you are today,
How can my soul rest when, you've made war your best friend?

When I Was Young I Cried
When I was young I cried when I was sad, when I was young I cried when I was happy, when I was young I cried when I wanted something, when I was young I cried when I was lonely, when I was young I cried when I had to say goodbye, when I was young I cried when my feelings were hurt, when I was young I cried when I wasn't accepted, when I was young I cried when I was mocked, when I was young I cried for attention, when I was young I cried when I was scared, when I was young I cried when I hurt others, when I was young I cried when I felt physical pain, when I was young I cried when I was jealous, when I was young I cried when I lost someone or when I was lost somewhere, when I was young I cried when I didn't know, and now as an adult I cry because I understand.

I do feel part of that generation of people who were rather idealistic in the '70s and became disillusioned in the '80s. Not just about social services issues, but the world.

Being Realistic
To rendezvous,
With another's fantasy...
Has never appealed to me.
I can be idealistic!
But a fool?
I've never had that time to give.
There is 'something' grounded,
In being realistic that attracts!

Forever Young
(r. stewart/j.cregan/k.savigar)
May the good lord be with you
Down every road you roam
And may sunshine and happiness
Surround you when youre far from home
And may you grow to be proud
Dignified and true
And do unto others
As youd have done to you
Be courageous and be brave
And in my heart youll always stay
Forever young, forever young
Forever young, forever young
May good fortune be with you
May your guiding light be strong
Build a stairway to heaven
With a prince or a vagabond
And may you never love in vain
And in my heart you will remain
Forever young, forever young
Forever young, forever young
Forever young
Forever young
And when you finally fly away
Ill be hoping that I served you well
For all the wisdom of a lifetime
No one can ever tell
But whatever road you choose
Im right behind you, win or lose
Forever young, forever young
Forever young ,forever young
Forever young, forever young
For, forever young, forever young
