Certainly not a Disney derivative,

Jacko’s Neverland cannot compare,

Dolly’s Dollywood not even a close second,

If ya think you can’t go there, don’t despair,

Hippyland ain’t a place, it’s a state of mind,

Though sometimes it might be in a bit of disrepair…

If we forget our heritage,

And see only our world dying,

We may sit around sighing,

Rather than enjoying life & trying…

Hippyland is all of us,

Deep inside & on the surface,

We always will be hippies,

No matter our age & such,

With our own youth we must keep in touch…
