WORDS WHICH AWAKEN - Akeem Oyalowo
Words that resurrect moods and feelings
Words that tap the others
Urging them to rise and follow one another
Words that are sweeter than sugar
Words that emerge to tell their own tales
But help in telling the make of your soul
Words that the doctor says might not fit
Like that which comes, from a tender voice
But intended to hurt
Words that build walls
That say you to yours and me to mine
Words that build fortresses
Words which pull together
And say one for all, and all for one
United we stand, divided we fall
Words that centrifugalize
To your tents, O Israel
Let mothers claim their children
Let mothers learn to dive
So that they may give life, and while at it, die
Words which summon tears
