A funny thing happened <br />on the way to the New Age <br />around the year 1980, <br />as the Celestial Seasonings <br />herb tea company <br />seemed to be creating <br />a new world all by itself, <br />one smelling of chamomile, <br />peppermint and peach. <br /> <br />Coffee and coca-cola <br />appeared to be living <br />on borrowed time <br /> <br />until at the last minute, millions <br />of people panicked and said, <br /> <br />'Stop! Don't take into extinction <br />the drink I had after my first kiss, <br /> <br />or the one I could smell <br />Dad brewing every morning <br />my first 17 years <br />as I came downstairs! ' <br /> <br />Vision is one thing, <br />true surrender <br />quite another.<br /><br />Max Reif<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/01july17-lurching-to-be-born/
