San Francisco...

La raina de la noches
 queen of the night
 blankets of fog draping gracefully around her 
 mist drifting in from the golden gate...
 the haight is haunted by the ghosts of Jerry, Jimmie, and Janis 
wearing tie dye and patchouli
raging like dylan thomas against the dying of the night...
 and Jack still wanders, aimlessly downtown
 with a notebook and a pen,  drunk as cooter brown
and i take another toke and play another tune
 as Ginsburg leans his head back and Howls at the moon,
 bitterly lamenting that the end is coming soon...
and theres tidal waves, earthquakes and tsunami's 
 beaurocrats and hippie commies
 chem-trails, fema camps and zombies
 signs, signs, the end indeed is near...
 walls made of bricks and mortar
 blood shed over  arbitrary borders...
Lines  blurred between Chaos and Order 
 Love alone will save us from our fear...
exiles driven from the plots where they toil
brothers killing brothers over land, water and oil
  bloody battles rage on domestic soil
wars, wars, and rumours of wars
 signs, signs the end is coming soon.
north against the south and the east against the west
 killin and blood spillin over whos idol is the best
 the rightous run to the hills to escape arrest...
 signs, signs, the end is coming soon.
