Raw lyrics from that time a stream of loving consciousness poured out of my heart  <3

Please feel free to question my empathy
If I dare say poetry is an absolute necessity 
Messenger of a creativity only found in individuality 
Essential workers now, in times of growing insecurity, 

It is an irreplaceable act of human expression, 
to explore and share genuine stories of humanity
In a Society where everything viral is a commodity 
Poetry breeds humility, curiosity, creativity

(I believe) Poetry matters, like eating and planting seeds
Now more than ever, poetry’s the trend you need (ha)
To connect, beyond the standardization of narcissism 
To resist the homogenization of global capitalism

With all due respects to churches and pyramids, 
Christian creed, Maslow’s universal hierarchy of needs,
And the importance of all indeed deemed a necessity,
(I believe) It is in vulnerability, with little or no safety no stability
That poetry thrives, bare, humble witness of our holy fragility 

(I believe) It’s about balancing capitalistic dehumanization
To foster empathy, celebrate alterity 
To learn through to the voice of others, 
To trust in our own transformative powers 

(I believe) It’s about denouncing narcissistic manipulation
To resist dark forces of division
To exist above their toxic oblivion 
To share meaning, brave discussions

(I believe) It’s about ending cycles of doom and revenge, 
To live with nothing to prove, no ego to avenge
To build more bridges beyond artificial divides, 
To find the magic and awe in everyone’s stride 

You know it when you see it, its flow,
The poetic voice, you feel it, it’s raw, 
It sings meaning, understanding and connection
It brings wonders, maybe even a heart palpitation

It captures the texture of human experiences
It pictures the allures of perceived differences
beyond canyons and cultures, 
it’s not about acting demure

It’s a humble language made of ordinary
That proved to be holy, possibly salvatory
It can fills the absence of a warm human voice, 
Like, love is god, and music is not even a choice…

(I believe) That is why poetry is necessary
A mean to an end, and "a language for a new century," 
A way to grow our sacred individuality, our soul, dignity 
A chance to bow , to celebrate, life, all the damn beauty
