it is
“Myths have to change,
be useful, or be forgotten.”
-Maxine Hong Kingston
it is time
plain and simple
to separate
the good from the evil
cowardly chickens
of racism, religion, and skin
have brought this world
into an era of terrorism
humans allowing themselves
to degrade and fall
into becoming lower
than animals
it is the sound in the mystery
that i listen for
it is the vision through the void
that has no definition for being poor
it is
the dance i do
it is
how i get through
it is
a meditation each day
to keep
the demons away
it is
the insight of the visionary
that lifts every burden
no matter how heavy
it is
the sound in the mystery
rhythms of endless elevation
and eternal harmony
it is
the dance i do
it is
how i get true
it is
the trance of blue
it is
how my Soul and Spirit grew
it is
the dance i do
it is
how i get
through
it is
what
it is
