I was eating cornflakes for two days, "Sydney"
"Its been along time coming"
The march was a happening thing,
word got out
they walked, they rode, they drove
they just had to get there
such a long time ago
Got to speak out, one said,
if you dare to come
and they walked up country
unaware to the world
Changed the world, it did!
they gathered, they finally could unite
walls set in place, within an aching world of youth
they had to come down,
stripping that era of its comforting shell
Its been a long road
and what better way,
"Hang on a minute, I have my own opinion,I shall voice"
and they descended
Reflecting on the times
should thoughts be amended?
"Something is wrong"
So they marched
The music played
"for three days man"!
The world was in need of this happening
from the thought that was ignited
to challenging the anguish
to what carried forth from it
what was internally born
that it would indeed, in many ways, show the world
change
Without War
We as one can live with the present or change it

As much as we journey, we must "know" we are on a journey, it makes things much more clearer.

About this poem:
Sydney was the man that contracted his land out to the woodstock festival. Very cool for back then! (He took risks)
There were so many people there he couldn't leave his land to go into town, so he lived on cornflakes for 2 days.
What better way, with all that background music.....
