Come Glastonbury

Come Glastonbury, demand your suitors

Eliminate the negatives of their days

Show the signs of cheer and promise

Crystal clear and sun bright

The walkways between the tiny shops

Where escaping through to back doors and out

Inside spirits claim your soul

Wrestle your pathetic reliance on consumerism

Your slavish concern for fashion

And your unhelpful TV dinners

There in Glastonbury only truth is spoken

Revealing the weaknesses of our human frame

Our minds that suffer from prejudices and bigotry

Cleanse your soul, become yourself

Give up the senseless living that has dominated

And driven our daily chores and lifestyle

Discard them all and believe that man

Is just a tiny part of this cosmos

A spirit and energy of the completeness

Not the embodiment

Not the utmost but a small part

Perhaps a much lesser being than any other...

Despite everything we are special

You are special in your individual capabilities

Each soul a grain of stardust

Waiting to be reunited in the cosmos

With the rest of the wonderful plethora

Be calm in the knowledge that you

Your heart and soul

Are one and only

Unique

Even today in Glastonbury
