The hippies had it wrong - Love isn't Free, of attachment and weight
The hipsters have it wrong - their concept of polyamoury as no-strings

But a collective memory lingers, from our deepest roots,
of love untempered by ego - free of loss-fear

And it's always seemed to me, that in this aspect of human existence,
so filled with uncertainty and pain for many people,
there had to be another way.

Perhaps Mckenna had it right, and our solace was found on the mushroom-dotted plains of Africa long ago.
