The Strings Tying Us Together (Defining Culture)

band together, peace love and harmony, the arts, the common ground collective, the culture of us, the key of life, the symphony of life

The ARTS tend to bring us together…

Even in a war torn world,
poetry – music – and art would always string together

In the symphony of life,
That little art in heART shall help us heART the ARTS and connect us forever

Although, at times, we may find it hard to string together common ground,
As we orchestrate our differences in the key of life, the culture of us shall resound

As the inclusiveness of the violin, viola, cello, double bass, and harp string together a beautiful sound,
So too shall the diversity of us create harmony

For the strings tying us together shall always be tied to peace – love – and harmony,
the common ground collective shall always be found in the beauty of banding together

My poems are not poems…
Yet my heartstrings strike a chord amongst those that see the beauty in banding together

And I say that to say:
How long must ye single each other out before ye band together?

As the poets put words together,
The musicians bring instruments together,
And the artists blend colors together,
So too must all walks of mankind come together

As dialect is not detected in laughter,
Joy is the instrument that brings forth the cliché “that is music to my ears!”

For how sweet the sound of a foreign dialect,
When love is the universal language and common ground is shared

To become familiar with your neighbor’s traditions and customs is to erase your fears

#codeofthestreets:

“When we’re defining culture, it’s often about how you can turn something that’s not yours into your own. I always felt that Bach was my music — I lived my whole life living and experiencing this music almost every day. It’s in my skin, it’s in my bones, it’s in my memory – it’s in all my experiences. And I believe that until we stop becoming human, Bach’s music is going to be continually listened to, because of the kind of understanding that he brings to human nature. It is one way that #cultureconnectsus.”

God Energy

energy is everything, introversion, quietude, self-talk, silence, the arts, transcendentalism

My poems are not poems,
Don’t get it confused, these ain’t just lyrics.
I convene with the ancient spirits.

Wisdom cries out to the Streets,
If you quiet the noise, you could hear it.

When you mind your own, you’ll find the Divine in your own.

You could search in temples, churches, and mosques and never find your way home.

When you walk in faith rather than sight, you commence to see God’s presence in everything.

If you can comprehend the transcendental vibes, you know ENERGY IS EVERYTHING.

If you don’t recognize the power within, I suggest you become acquainted with the arts.

I’m anticipating, you’ll see the correlation between creation and art.

If you can’t see the God matter between your temples, you’ll never discover the Divine that dwells in your heart.

I suggest you act on reason not emotion,
Why do you think the brain is above the heart?

But don’t mind me,
You were given one mouth and two ears and most tend to listen not.

What do I know?!
I’m just an introvert in a world that talks a lot.

Nah, I’m not antisocial,
SELF-TALK is the best talk,
I tend to talk to God a lot.
