explore it don't ignore it

Ok....so now I have a blog, officially and most seriously....and I should probably write really important things about important things. Probably something about my exciting music career in Second Life! Well...it IS exciting! Every day brings new excitements and new challenges and new friends and new opportunities not to sleep! Instead I am going to share a poem I wrote after hanging out with Juel Resistance for a while today, watching her build, talking about the process of songwriting and creativity in general, and the art of words. Here it is:

explore it don’t ignore it

Earth! Crazy round deep hot cold soft bold god given creation of nations in search of the patience to love it before it removes us from its afflicted skin…PEOPLE!

explore it don’t ignore it

brother sister whiter blacker couldn’t it matter less if we were blessed with sight and soul of giving living touching hearing acknowledge fear and open ears to open hearts to open minds, not time for guilt and fear that binds and blinds our minds People!

explore it don’t ignore it

richer poorer babies underfoot stepping on the heads of beautiful children desperate grabbing taking needing pleading hear me see me help me believe in me believe in me believe in me PEOPLE

expore it don’t ignore it
against it or for it
explore it don’t ignore it

Respect! Free
