Swinging Through the Sixties

Oblivion

The Space Race,
The Cold War,
The Cuban Missile Crisis,
            and I was swinging...
Riots and sit ins,
Vietnam and civil rights,
"We shall overcome."
           and I was swinging...
  John F. Kennedy...
"The President has been shot!"
           and I was swinging
           and coloring
           and learning my ABCs.
Hippies and Mary Jane,
Woodstock,
The Beatles,
           and I was swinging...
 Bobby Kennedy,
Martin Luther King,
"...one giant leap for mankind."
           and I was taking one small step
    
           and swinging...
