Disco Hippie

Flower-print bell bottoms,

yellow, white, and blue

Silk paisley shirt, black platform shoe

Hair past your chest, with curls chestnut brown

Belt buckle oval, so primed to get down,

To forge that new sound, to turn up that frown

Disco Hippie, now’s the time

Disco Hippie, for a new paradigm

Disco Hippie, stay strong

Got to sing a new song

Peace sign headband, rainbow design

Super short shorts, socks to the knee line

Tie dye t-shirt, hemp bracelet from a friend

A fistful of daisies for when all wars end

For when races mend, for when truth

becomes a trend

You ache for the ease of the roller rink

But back now to the streets

to sweeten this political stink

It’s your time, Disco Hippie

Meeting at the corner of Ashbury and Haight

To fight the good fight

because it just couldn’t wait.

Listening to Hendrix while discussing Kent State

A nonviolent sit-in to spark some debate

To sugar this hate, to hydrate our nation state
