Dreamers and Rebels

Mickey Z said we never could have enough dreamers
poets, artists, activists,
romantics, visionaries and rebels

as though it was alright to blurt out what is firing you up right then and there,
and take your place in the race to speak your heart,
to make a start ripping the veils off the wounds

letting the air back into the lungs
here where it aches so
starving for freedom.

Come stillness, come meaning of moments,
life flooding into itself, crowning itself with glories.

Ordinary simple things enough
to hold there, hold on, we're coming;
hold on, we're coming to get you.
We're coming to show you the way.

Bob Marley "The bad people trying to make the world worse never take a day off, why should I?"
