To The Beat/Congo Square

CATEGORY

Congos

Indian drums

Circular rhythm in the air

Beats collide

Upon the grass fields

Dancers shake

and rise

Their minds floating

Like parasailers in the sky

No fuel

 the wind and rhythm

their supply

Their

Consciousness

Drifts

High in the sky

While

Beneath their feet

Ancestors

And the truth

Tramples age old lies

 

 

Fearless creatures

Of yesterday

Lie beneath wretched wrecked tombstones

Crumbling Into the dirt

As those upon whom

blessed life and birth were given

blood is passed on

eternal worth

 

 

 

 

Some fearing fate yet

The fearful fear

only awaiting is terrible surprise

Fearful of their mother earth

And Nature

spooked

of the day of their haunted demise

Still the faith

Remains in the gentle hands

Of the Gods

Resting in the day

And shining through the stars’ light

 

Strong hearts race in the drum rhythm

As the winds in the sky

Wipe away fear

And memories of the untold

And unsacred lies

While the Congos resound

Echoing a tribal jungle night

 

Drums roll and hum

the beat goes on

under a lucid twilight

giving way to a piercing sky lit night

fires burning on the earth and in the skies

reflecting

every yesternight

 

and

 

As Storms come to pass

 

The sun and stars

Remain

Always out of reach

From within seas of moonlight

From the mountains to the beach

the beat goes on and on

Flowing like the rivers

And endless waterfalls

That we all seek

Bumping and Grinding

 to

Ancient everlasting beats
