Dancers and Poets (Inspired by Jack Anderson)
“Dancing is an art of bodies moving on a stage. Poetry is an art of words moving on a page” – Jack Anderson
Dancers twist
Contort
Gyrate
ELEVATE
and then gracefully spin,
In the same vain as the poets
Bumping their heads against the wall
Before dripping their soul on the page
One word at a time
Through the ball of their pen
The word
Is where the struggle begins
The unified dance of the masses
Moving to the rhythm of the heart’s beat
Is where the struggle ascends
Into change
Dancers and poets want the same thing
And that is the salvation of your soul
This routine of ours
Ain’t just another show — Sean King
Tools of my Soul
I would be lying if I said
I was working to improve my art
I am not an artist
What is true
I am working to improve humanity
I am human
Much like a man uses a hammer and nails
To build a home for his family
My soul uses words
To build a future for humanity
Words are the tools
Of my soul
Tomorrow
Is what I’m building
