Are You Experienced? Poem by Joe Rosochacki

Purple Haze in your psychedelic shack,
Acid trips and Timothy Leary, all the chemistry,
To bad Jimi hadn’t seen this and a lot more since he died in 1970,
God, in nature, creates the trip of all time, living, that’s all.
You don’t need drugs to experience life,
Just look around, and certain cases in, the world and cosmos,
From the outer space via the Hubble Telescope,
To inner space where you can very colorful creatures great and small,
The latest fish find is “Psychedelica',
The ‘60’s gave attention to race relations, women liberation, technological revolution,
The experimentation with drug use and the sexual revolution,
The burning of draft cards and flag to protest the Vietnam War,
Singing the songs of John Fogerty,
The ‘60’s has coined a phrase was that used in the pop culture relatively all the time,
Psychedelic,
The fish should be grateful it wasn’t called ‘pig’ or a “sock it to me”.
