There is a band i love called MUMFORD&SONS
They are as fresh as ARCTIC MONKEYS once were-
bright and shining lyrics of heart and depth
and i would have dearly loved to see them.
They were in town for one night only
and have become headline acts @Glastonbury
Yet,no matter how much my desire to see them LIVE!
I had no energy after poetry ,and could only replay PASTE clips
to authenticate their original expressiveness and worthiness
Same may be true for you(i guess-after work,words may depress
especially if you are subjected to them compulsorily/
and all our talk of freedom! and free speech! becomes static
when energy is in crisis mode,and priorities demand attention
(I am only guessing.Venues depend upon folk attending
and we all know what happens when nothing ...
but then again,there are nights when i would dearly love to see a Poet Laureate
or simply adore Poetry on the Plaza
or roll and revel in a culture that allows language out to play
yet ignores what you really have to say
This is a petition for your return-that you might burn
with passion and engagement/and animate open stages
with the bright flame of your personal commitment
For if you are missing(presumed lost in streets or business
who can we speak with?Conversation requires all of us
and silence lies.
