Goats and Sheep 1970s
We set out to make the world right.
Our thoughts in the thrust of revolutions,
we join the cauldron of emotions.
Convinced we can change the world,
we march, are pushed along in a throng,
placards in hands, afroed and long-haired,
freshly schooled in the injustices of apartheid,
the fire that is Vietnam
Some, empowered by the will to rein in all that is evil ,
volunteer in communities, attempt to bring fairness
and equality to the poor, evolve into leaders.
Others overrun by the life’s demands,
bend to its will, pass on the baton of righteousness
to the next generation.
