Song of the Poet
*Note - I posted this some time ago on PS and it got POTD, resulting in over fifty comments of support. Social media is a fickle animal, sometimes dangerous. We poets like to imagine ourselves artists, dreamers, even visionaries. In fact, we are simply a microcosm reflecting the larger world around us. A world filled with prejudices, biases, animosities and yes, even hate. It is my sincere hope that the poets of Poetry Soup will put aside underlying tensions and hurt feelings to unite as one voice, one heart. It won't be easy, but with effort it can be done. Agape love is the key.
There’s a new sound in the air
Can you hear it?
It’s a song we all can share
Will you sing it?
It’s a lyric full of hope
Words of peace to help us cope
There’s a new sound in the air
Can you hear it?
There’s a new vibe all around
Can you feel it?
If you’re lost you can be found
Will you trust it?
It’s a safe line of defense
from harsh words that cause offense
There’s a new vibe in the air
Can you feel it?
(Chorus)
I’m a dreamer can’t you see?
We are poets you and me
Can we sing in unity?
Let the music set us free
There’s a new sun in the sky
Can you see it?
Free your mind and don’t ask why
Just accept it
Let the rainbow guide us home
Life is dull in monochrome
There’s a new sun in the sky
Can’t you see it?
(Chorus)
I’m a dreamer can’t you see?
We are poets you and me
Can we sing in unity?
Let the music set us free
(Refrain and repeat till fade)
We’re all dreamers you and me (clap)
And we share one family tree (clap)
Let’s agree to disagree (clap)
Sing in perfect harmony (clap)
