COVID is the end of the hippy road 

 

all that freedom turned out to be Trump

 

the mock of rule 

a signal dropping out 

 

and they are judging us 

are smug 

say we are 

to say so 

 

that’s the roundabout 

 

who’d have thought?

and that's the problem

 

they were always pretending the money away

as in the best American movies 

 

even after 

you must have the baby 

 

I used to think them harmless before  

all potions and salves 

more to be pitied 

 

but I see now 

their naturalness 

the lack of respect

and where it goes

 

all freedom to 

no freedom from 

 

they exercise wild instinct 

so-called 

imagine tides, grain untowards

 

some incense and some sacred oil 

 

don’t let the uniform fool you

its happy go lucky 

do unto others

 

they are shellfish

just pretend to swim 

but mollusc the salt keel 

won’t vote

but feel

do trance

 

a guru grope tickle width superstition

they are all hypnotised 

 

and some have called all of this love

some knuckle up with HATE

whole tribe tattooed thus 

 

theirs the freedom of the dinosaurs 

before this world is struck 

 

I wear a mask among them 

I am hoping to survive
