People Over Politics, World Over Wealth

The Birth of the Blues ~ Philip Brent Harris

~~~~~

Oh, baby, come along now.
Keep me company even
when no one is looking.
You’re mine and I’m yours.
Sing me, I’ll dance you.
I will paint your portrait
in bright lights and jazz.

Listen to the piano hammer
out a tune that sets your feet
tapping, your heart pounding
from your chest like a strange
cartoon lover. The muted bone
slurs your desire lets you know
how to find your way home.

Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment

Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength,

Unite the World
