Do you hear us?
Lifting our voices
In praise of living.
Pouring out our hearts
carrying it to your ears?
Do you hear us?
Children of the muse
crying out in this Urban Wilderness
of a Global Village.
Singular Voices
bringing awareness, challenge, hope.
Singular Voices
harmonized by technique and delivery.
Do you hear us?
Telling the stories of our lives
our history; with rhyme and meter.
In song and dance and movement!
Keeping the ways of the Ancestors
bringing old wisdom
to Twenty-first Century excess.
Do you hear us?
As you suffer through
another week of work
for one day of exuberance
only to repent, the next
for a life adrift and shallow.
Wanting more and more
of shiny things to fill it.
We call to you
from the altars of your
every day search for something different.
Something outside your
go-with-the-flow existence.
Do you hear us?
Do .. you .. hear us?
Can you take on the mantle of change
and stand up for the intangibles?
“Liberty and Justice for all”
Honor and Truth, your shield.
Love for Neighbor .. and .. Self?
That which is incorporeal, can not be worn
or used to accentuate an outfit.
Be driven to work or put into a portfolio
but can men and women
be human, without it?!
Do you hear us?
