WE ARE


We speak, we sing
Speaking for the dumb, feeling for the numb
Singing for the notes, quoting the quotes
Saying the unsaid, the unsay able
Swapping sighs with words
According words with rhyme.
Speaking from the heart, easing the hurt
Celebrating love, stripping the glove
Touching hearts of our audience
Provoking the auditor’s mind
We are the judges of the heart and mind, we sentence them.
We are the words, punctuations to emotions, we sentence them.
Proudly poetic,
Smugly artistic,
Wildly creative,
Exclusively inventive.
Factually inimitable,
Entirely incomparable.
We are the poets
