When did we wear flowers in our hair?


When we believed in the peace process

When two parties respectfully disagreed

When young adults believed in something other than money

When we still had a middleclass

When we played duck and cover in our classroom

When integrity meant something

When printer’s ink left a mark on a hand

When guys in Silicon Valley began to dream about making stuff in their garages

When $10 was almost valued at $10

Before mace, pepper spray, stun guns, plastic cuffs and traffic cams

When the water fountains were still segregated in the south

And, when an apple was an apple
