Book of Songs

“Sorrows and themes”

Songs of woe
Songs of sorrow
Sorrows of Dzogbese Lisa
Sorrows of Africa
Africa through throes
Africa harmonica
Harmonica we played
Harmonica in words
Words strung chords
Words with rhythm
Rhythm that moves
Rhythm of victory
Victory dance
Victory from lyrics
Lyrics for gods
Lyrics for thrills
Thrills with music
Thrills in chapters
Chapters in numbers
Chapters measured
Measured through tracks
Measured through sound
Sound that bites
Sound of records
Records of time past
Records that rocks
Rocks for the young
Rocks for the old
Old came with plural
Old now renewed
Renewed for this school
Renewed for this age
Age of gyration
Age long renditions
Renditions raised
Renditions with praise
Praise with reverse
Praise these lines
Lines with depth
Lines we paint
Paint with mouths
Paint with instruments
Instruments spell sadness
Instruments spell joy
Joy filled moments
Joy filled themes
Themes of music
Themes we sung
Music…
Sung…
