Let Freedom Be The Toll Poem by keith Durante

The world watched a peaceful gathering at Bethel,
They came in droves to rekindle the past,
A spirit lost somewhere through time,
An ancient thirst for revolution,

And there, on the cusp.
did the people gather,
at a time called Woodstock,
at a place named freedom,
and though the spirit never dies,
the voices became desperate cries,
for an anthem, a challenge to the wise,

And the bands sang songs for political rescue,
freedom rang for peace and virtue,
Brothers and Sisters gathered on a farm,
to the world they sang hope,
no crime, no harm,

here at the awesome mercy of nature,
tenderness nurtured the seed of revolution,
Grace is the harvest of universal evolution,
Peace is the spirit of loves' solution,

People of the earth are a delicate rapture,
the earth is mystic, a loving soul to capture,
and the sage that sings to the heart with flowers
dares the grip of earthly powers.

Peace is an angel, born of Divine,
Politics echo a warning sign,
And the people, they gather to remember the past,
they look to the future, how long will it last? ,

The leaders that save us, they scavage and plunder,
Savage is war, it rapes Holy wonder,
How does the earth pick up after,
the mokery of political laughter?

Here on a farm, In the time of Bethel,
a bridge of peace, and people the vessel,
seeds in the clouds impress the learned few.
true magic is the beauty of sacred morning dew,

Take heed of the SPIRIT that festers peace
and its constitution,
hungry is the world of spiritual revolution,

And the people, they gather, for an innocent view,
to witness the marvel of freedom ringing true,
To each, The other, Is Natures' Host
Lift a glass to your Toast,

The innocent so few,
Oh! what's the world done to you?
It's a gentle Nirvana calling,
Heaven is falling

On earth, the wicked grow strong,
On earth, peace must be the song,
danger is out of control.
Violence is destroying the soul,

Yazgurs' farm,
a time of peace, no harm,
take another look,
the hand of fate is not in a book,

all you breath and tell,
is it happiness or hell? ,
the time of hell is upon us,
lay down your lust, gather your trust,

Sister and Brother,
Love one another,
hate and greed and war,
seems society wants more,

Love the breathless shrew,
they know not what they do,
Learn to live and grow,
The universe will flow,
through your heart and soul,
Let Freedom Be The Toll...
