PoetDude
Greetings I'm Carl, a dude who thinks he's a poet. In my younger days when I played guitar, I kept a notebook of poems and songs I wrote. After my near-fatal car crash in 1993, I took the poems and songs in that notebook and wrote a book called, ‘Poems & Songs By An Old Hippie’. The book was published in 1997. It is no longer in print. I'm 69 now and I still have that notebook. Follow me as I post poems from my book and other poems I've written over the years.

Plastic People
In this world of men and women/when life just isn’t worth living/people crowd you from all sides/you’re the one who needs a guide.
People staring you in the eye/trying to see if you don’t lie/don’t be yourself, you have to conform/then they say you weren’t even born.
If this my friend is happening to you/and you don’t know where to run or what to do/Take these plastic people, take them by the hand/Twist them bend them, it’s your turn to take a stand.
Tell them that you want to be/not a slave but someone free/To live in a world of peace and love/Where no one is below, no one is above.
Where people can walk hand in hand/There is harmony, not hate, all over this land.
Yes my brothers and sisters, I would do this/The plastic people cannot persist/They have no real convictions, no real mind/That is why, you must strike them blind.
You have to be free/to live like you want to be.

I wrote ‘Plastic People’ in 1969 when I was a senior in high school. I wrote it for the school literary mag. The teacher-in-charge would not publish it. She thought it was too controversial.
