Musical Youth

~

we were young

the music played

each of us

had a choice,

love or war

flowers or fear

so young but we  

had to choose,

they sang of surf

and sunshine

fear of the bomb 

and nothing left after,

free love or folklore

anthems or heroes

we were young 

the music played

and we chose

being too young 

to care
