Who Are We But Who We Are
Who Are WE but Who We Are…
We are the conscience of the heart;
custodians of its emotions—conjuring,
molding and etching its most sacred feelings
upon the canvas of time’s time;
We are devoted lexical midwives—
delivering depolarized doses
of liberated thoughts from wombs
of metrical, pregnant minds;
We are the dream catchers of the soul,
unflinching emissaries of truth’s truth,
unafraid—dispelling lies—exposing
hypocritical cries;
We are the mourners
and revelers of nations; sages
standing strong, silently screaming,
stimulating sleeping souls:
We are poets—griots of the word.
