OFFSPRING IN DISGUISE
(May 7, 1970. Saturday)
Utter confusion and frustration
There is no release
No temporary relief
I have no belief
For there is nothing left to belief in;
Except the hopes of Heaven
The doubts of Hell
And the pondering as to which extreme
Shall prevail
I live not for life
But that in death I shall be free
And with these thoughts in mind
I anticipate the age of doom
Should it come, while I am young
I’ll shed no tears of sorrow;
For who can truly say
There is a new tomorrow
Smothered by the fires of hate
Love alone in darkness waits
While warped minds contemplate
The earth’s evolving fate
So be it exclaims the king
Around the world his voice rings
Penetrating the soul of man
Until he no longer understands
What meaningless words
Can I express
To console the restlessness
Of youth in rebellion
Against a world of lies
Who cannot hear their desperate cries
Who refuse to recognize
That what they see before their eyes----
Is their offspring in disguise
