Timothy Leary

Timothy Leary spent years in prison to experiment in drugs was his only crime
Born in Springfield Massachusetts in nineteen twenty he was a man way ahead of his time
President Nixon described him as America's number one public enemy which was a deliberate lie
His promotion of L S D was to help people something he maintained until the day he did die

In a conservative age of political correctness Timothy Leary became a wromged man
Controversy it did remain with him until the last day of his life span
Married five times he did love many women to his life beautiful women did come and did go
He was one who believed in polygamy which helped to make for him many a powerful foe

One can understand why women loved Leary he was quite different to most men of him one can say
He was a genius as well as witty and charming some women did fall for him in a big way
Yet all of his love affairs ended in heartache he was one who in love just could not stay
Just like a flower love that blooms quickly often as quickly can fade to decay

Timothy Leary a non conforming genius he was a character of a great mind
Those who knew him well say of him a great fellow and in his ways he was generous and kind
On his seventy fifth year in nineteen ninety six he died of cancer from life his was a quite painful release
Though long dead he remains a legend to many Timothy Leary may he rest in peace.
