Dig this, Daddy'O! Inspired by "Beat" poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti.
Now dig this…..



Beat Chant

I am chanting for the likes of Ron, George, and Bill to speak truthfully to adults rather than white lying to children
and I am chanting for the television to explode,
and for people to come back outside again
and I am chanting for my fellow men to cease picking their noses and wiping their fingers above public urinals
and I am chanting for the sun to stop reflecting off the Mellow Yellow can on the stream’s bottom
and I am chanting for Louis Farrakhan to Hokey Pokey with the Grand Wizard
and I am chanting for Bush and Hussein to tie a daisy chain
and I am chanting for Rush Limbaugh to sport a Nehru jacket with love beads
and I am chanting for blame to be less important
and I am chanting for a new religion to replace Yuppieism
and I am chanting for people to stop talking, and listen
and I a chanting for cosmic consciousness
but most of all, I am chanting for a monogamous nymphomaniac angel winged soul mate to deliver me from this wasteland.

Dig it!


Why not pen your own beat chant, man? Sing your soul!
