yeah, you know what i mean
that cool lemon and lavender crushed ice glass of the winners in their circle
you've been there or will be there
when everything you do seems to find closure and the bright greener than ever before trees next to the road that rises up to meet you shake poplarly
but it wasn't always like that
our forefathers - the greatest generation - learned lessons we can't image in the depression era school of hard knocks knock knocking on heaven's door
then suddenly we have basic income, light up telephones that can look up virtualy anything and art beyond imagining created by lovely and stylish ladies wearing leggings with t shirt blouses who can legally go naked in public
we look toward the future with hope accessing our racial memory only in pitched battle
and the lessons are there
fdr entered the oval office with one of the largest mandates ever and a national emergency
only to go on to win the largest electoral college tally in his reelection bid in 1936
so now we can look back and see the truth - they will pour out a fine measure full and overflowing
fdr's liberal 1933 new deal created the greatest economic expansion in world history and the dinner parties were fun
we look forward to a happier existance st john promised as our nation's salad years approach a nicer and healthier age
white water, soft drinks wear the afternoon evening onto the patio table with a challenge and a hail ho !
