dance

dance

 

let's all do the twist

and turn away from hate

the beat improves if we do

 

the rhythm is within us

if we give it a chance

to dance when the swallows fly

 

the barn is open to everyone

so why bar it for some

because of color, religion

choice of gender

 

the swallows are watching us

God is watching us

time is tired of ticking away

when there is no movement

 

the feet, the hearts, the souls

are stagnant

sitting this one out

The dance floor is full
The evil side liners. SIt by in the dark
Watching us
They planning their next move on us the people dance whilst the songs play we are in bliss and don’t worry till they divide us up once more

In the dark the colours all the same as it should be

Good write and message Jacob

Yes, the barn is open to everyone and if all danced, regardless of race, colour and creed what a gala it would be. Such a beautiful thought, my friend. High time we ended the stagnation and the stalemate.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

yes, High Time. Thank you, Divya,

Rhythm is a dancer. Came straight into my head. Far better to dance through life with everyone. Everyone should be on the dance floor. No wall flowers. Really nice piece J.

thank you, yes, rhythm is the dancer, the partner poets strive to find on the dance floor of verse.

Let's dance! I like the positive message in this poem, it's better to dance, feel joyful and included together! It's like saying Music is a universal language, dance is a universal cure... Thanks for sharing!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

I do agree, a universal cure.

Dance as one, twist as one, sway as one. Music is a universal language that everyone can enjoy and relate to.
An excellent message sir Jacob.
