What Would Jimi Sing?

What would Jimi sing

if he came back

and found the revolution was over

and all the warriors removed their bandanas

joined the union

and arranged a peace treaty

for themselves,

behind closed doors

in legislative bodies.

What would Jimi sing

if he came back

and found all the warriors

retired in sun city

and all the soldiers

working hard to pay the bills.

What would Jimi sing

if he came back

and found all the soldiers

tired and ill with little help

and all the warriors fully insured and vested

popping Viagra to enhance the high.

What would Jimi sing

if he came back

and found all the soldiers

with bended back

and found all warriors

dancing and playing in splendid form.

What would Jimi sing then.
