The one constant, unfailing, unencumbered #voice of #thepeople, of #thepoor, of #theoppressed, has been and will continue to be #thepoets springing from the earthen wombs of silent or muffled voices of a crying or dying children - some too old to dance to bird music, others too young to understand the importance of it. Sadly, the people seldom read poetry. So they don't and can't see that we; a generation of writers stretching from colonial debauch of people and lands, to psychologically deranged squatters of lands in a country where these lands belong to these squatters, and a mental diagnosis of these squatters done by a system designed to rape the poor and send back the taxes to the great massa or keep the money encircling in one location long enough to create a segregated people willing to fight their own to feed themselves; continue to tell their story and every story through pen, paper, blood, sweat, faith, hope, and "anyting dat can beat drum and spark de smoke signal". Sigh. #poetryispowerful. #poetryisacurse #poetryisfearless. #morningRant #sadantes #sadantes2017 #sadantesquotes
