Let it be Real
Let it be real
let the truths
of our moment
become clear
we need
to grieve
and organize
the storm is
rumbling
humans have survived
all these hard years
because we sat
around council fires
shared
rich history
of our time
on the mother planet
we connected
to the waves of time
listened to the voices
of the dolphins,
birds,
lions and tigers
the clams
and the worms
we felt the life
energy
from the
tree roots,
the wind spoke to us
water soothed us
all inside the web
from the womb
We brought the
Motha home
looking up
sliver of moon
connecting us
early morning
at Bath Iron Works
workers rolled in
we shared our hearts
and some shared back
Our message is
simple
survival
for all the relations
At the local high school
guitar strumming
strange Asian voice
kids clapping
3rd floor window
one youngster
dances with the Asian
man
dressed in pink
calls it the
'hot pink dolphins'
sneaks in the heart
of Jeju Island
on the twist side
Working together
in the kitchen
feeding stomach
and soul
a moving web of life,
love,
and determination
Music all the way
Korean and
country style
strong words
by many
we don't want to pretend,
to not know,
what is really
going on....
our responsibility?
listen to the
heart beat
protect the
future generations
from
Mr. Big
Love
calls us back
again and again
til we pass it on.....
Thanks
y'all
Bruce
