Rainbow In The Shade: An antiwar poetic autobiography of the happy hippie, The Hippy Coyote

By Richard Del Connor, Buddha Zhen, Buddha Z

I’m one of the last living California Hippy War Protestors of the 1960s. Although I was only 16 years old, I was arrested and exiled to Newfoundland, unable to return to the USA without being imprisoned.
Despite my living a life of “PEACE AND LOVE” the world has become more violent and hostile.
Despite my music and songs of love and happiness, people prefer rap music of violence and hatred.
Despite my poetry of clever stories about loss of life and the destruction of war… people are entertained by real wars without commenting or protesting or even trying to stop these wars.
Despite raising my children to be AMBASSADORS OF PEACE: they play video games every day and murder over 20,000 creatures each year in these games they love and adore.
Perhaps the planet Earth is actually HELL and Satan is laughing at us killing each other.
Can we stop wars?
Yes. If we want to.
Contact me if you’d like to help me reduce violence and “End All Wars™.”
Please do your part to end all wars. In case you hadn’t noticed we are friends with Germany now. We are friends with Japan now. We are friends with Vietnam now. Did we need a war to be friends now? NO.
“Together, we can end all wars.™”
