next to the man-made
one-acre pond
stocked with fish
and strict regulations
some practicing their casting
others thinking about enlistment
college maybe a dream away
the options are manufactured
and manipulated by old men
still seeking a hard on
as the country sinks
up to the waist
in shit
and all you'll get
are rationalizations
for starting another war
the longhairs take off
on skateboards
the sun is finally breaking out
and the taste
of being free
is about all there is
to hope for
