THAT PSYCHEDELIC AGE!

This poem is simply the most random poem I have ever written. During my Creative Writing lecture, the professor came up with this surprise Poetry Writing test and all I could come up was the poem that follows... The attempt could have been better and hence, somehow, I haven't felt the true sense of satisfaction with this work..!
Hope you guys enjoy reading this...!



THAT PSYCHEDELIC AGE!

The clashing reds and the shocking pinks,
The heap of filth that only stinks!

'MAKE LOVE, NOT WAR!' They went around chanting,
It was the reality, the social structure dismantling.

The 'SUMMER OF LOVE!' took the nation by surprise,
The psychedelic anarchy, on the mighty rise!

The weeds ended the lives in ashes,
the 'Purple Haze' was available in sachets.

'TURN ON, TUNE IN AND DROP OUT!, they all fell down,
They flower child mind the people calling him 'THE HAZARDOUS CLOWN'!

The whole of the Western world called them 'Creepies!'
While they proclaimed themselves as the carefree 'Hippies'!
