Words of Freedom

2011

Written, performed and produced by me.

Imagine a time, when people worshiped the ground that they stood upon. Where prejudice and suffering did not undermine the integrity of our souls; where freedom was not granted to the few but generated in the many. When to fight for land, food, basic sanitation or equality, was as unnecessary as the chains that bind us to inactive minds. Imagine a time where the natural world could splash about in its carnival pallet of life, and we would all know in witnessing the eruption, the courtship, the sunset, the birth of butterflies; that it would be privilege to uphold this honour. A time where our basic acts of kindness were not assigned to memory but once more helped create the push that has lifted us up and forward to be crowned the guardian of this most remarkable place, and not be its tyrant. Imagine that. Imagine a time when the quality of our imagination could make all of mankind free!

And on that day, our words of freedom will be silent.
