One Good Thing About Music
when it hits you feels no pain.
~ Bob Marley
Music is my salvation, innovation, proclamation, interpretation and unification....artists valued, loved, respected and connected.
Dereliction of Education
When you add, I multiply
dominating the scene.
Add me, join me
it's just a little ride.
Mathematically, scientifically
washed by sterility,
abolishing deadly ties.
The echoes of children
and babies wail and cry.
Living in the present,
drawing from the past,
importing the future.
The children are asking
who, what,
when and why.
The answer lies within a song,
a riddim between
the drum and bass.
Where the sun shines
on a brand new face.
Laughter sharing tears,
reworking the fears,
in a place where hate sits.
The brave stand next to it.
Many are called,
some few can hear it all.
Answer the who, when and where
with the golden creed
yes, there is a greater need.
Do unto others, love one another,
all sisters and brothers.
For youths of tomorrow
we must not stop to borrow
from the selfish ease.
Attitude lacks gratitude
for us and state
for sound mind and body
to grow up
to educate and eradicate.
Eye to eye
I n I
the choice, the time and place.
Why, because the
whole world's a stage
witnessed by a "we"
for individuality to dominate.
Time is the place to adjudicate
the evils of history's past.
Slated, make it
the choice for the future
for all that's good in the land.
Children Come First
The End
