RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: LIFE SONGS
Deliverance
We don’t need words that tickle the senses
But fall short of coherent message
We don’t need poetry that dances on
Starlight but never touches the core
We don’t need magicians that conjure
Silken roses from puffs of thin air
But never pierce the boundaries of thought
We need words that hit hard as fists
That move the passive soul into action
We need poetry that rides the waves of
Passion to a destination of outrage
We need conjurers to transform the silent
Masses of the uninformed and unengaged
Into dedicated armies of change
We need artists with a social range
Writers who will open doors of power
Voices that rattle the tallest towers
Leaders who rise to the critical hour
People who deliver times of change
