"Knowledge is Power"
Read the sticker placed above my bed.
Every Morning and every Night,
In and out of bed,
I would read the sticker,
In an offhand Fashion.
My Father,
An intellect,
Pushed us towards Education.
In his belief,
It was the key to Everything.
Independence, Self-Sufficiency,
All Necessary,
A means for a decent life.
How we had once laughed!
Reality has dawned,
The years have passed,
Only now we understand,
The importance of a sticker.
Very nice! A sticker that tells a lot, but you have left this message inside your audience head and let them digest it. Wonderful message of the sticker indeed!
The songs and art in this book are about our collective emergence after the pandemic and trauma of the last few years - comprised of 5 collections: World as Refuge, Where We Live, In Our Hands, Rhythms of Change and What We See & Sow.
Dear readers, this is my third book of poems, and inside are a special collection of what have turned out to be not only MY personal favorites, but also the favorites of many of YOU. Some of these have never been available in print before...
