I will not be angst
if your voice remain silent
not because
you do not want to speak anymore
there is nothing more to speak evermore.
I remember you
the seed that sprout from the dry earth
the hope that was planted
with discipline and conviction
you carry the weight of our conscience
an indelible mark
imprinted in our hearts and in our minds
as we trace our footprints in the sands of time.
I will not be angst
if your voice remain silent
your dignity has not been compromised.
I will not be angst
if your voice remain silent
your humanity has not been debased.
You cannot dance alone
to the music of that misery
you stand alone in that oasis of indifference.
*
I will not be angst
if we cannot sing
our songs of rebirth
I will not be angst
if we cannot raise
our voices of defiance
You cannot dance alone
to the music of that misery
you stand alone in that oasis of indifference.
*
Where can we go to cry
where can we go to dance
where can we go to sing
Where can we go to laugh?
Our arena is inundated with killer bees
our drums are ripped apart
our laughter is choked
Do we have any more songs to sing?
Rene
