As I prepared for my 25-minute show I realized this was the anniversary of the \"Kent State Massacre\" of college students protesting the Vietnam War. I was 16 years old on May 4, 1970 and had participated in antiwar marches and as a young hippie was part of the flower power counterculture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo I decided to dedicate my \"Featured Poet Show\" of \"Richard Del Connor Philosopher Poet\" as \"Kent State Murder Day.\" I organized my existing poetry that I'd written in the last couple years criticizing the Military Industrial Complex, USA Politics, and printed my handwritten lyrics and poetry into a libretto that I printed up for my performance audience. This book contains these poems and copies of the original handwritten libretto. I was homeless at that time and performing more than once per week in various open-mics, poetry readings and book fairs as, \"Richard Del Connor Philosopher Poet.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI would like to keep this \"Kent State Massacre\" alive as a reminder to future generations as part of my own antiwar activities.
