Of Jim, Janis & Jimi...

Poem Artwork


Philosophers of their time,


Some songs did they give to rhyme,


Spoke of the future, past & present,


Ate for the first time in their lives pheasant..J


 


Spoke of revolution,


Tried to expound on a solution,


Did not know then of future pollution,


At the time they were top chain of evolution..J


 


Morrison had his own theories,


Joplin may not have understood it,


But she was expressing her own exponential series,


Hendrix as well had a great deal to expatiate,


Though he was more down to earth, keeping an eye on the world series..J


 


Passed on they did prior to their time,


Though do we know this for sure,


We did and do set them so sublime,


They did for our generation,


Create a small bit of salvation,


Spoke they did of God with celebration,


Died did they all of overuse of illegal medication..J

I believe these three giants died at age 27...?
"Illegal medication," indeed.

Nice tribute to the past greats
All chasing rainbow
one by one they disappeared
looking for that final note

And their songs live on as a testament to the revolutionaries they are. Looking for a better way than what is offered in this world.

Blindman - by Janis Joplin
Well, the blind man, he stood on the way and cried
Blind man, he stood on the way and cried
Blind man stood on the way and cried,

Crying, “Oh, show me the way, show me the way,
Show me the way, the way to go home.”

This is a trip, Ed. Think Morrison was a pure poet but got lost in his words(there are worse things). Janis had a heart too damn big for this world, bless her soul. And Jimi, if I had to pick a high preist of our generation, guess it would be him. True originals, all, as well as shooting stars. TY for this...
