Victory Drums

I hear drums defying oppression breeding creativity in my head
rhythm such harmony oneness of instruments voices
soothing flowing moving caressing me bathing
my every being awakening enlightening motivating hope
taking root stirring expression of heart head lips hips hands feet my
people dance sweat beaming salty rivers pouring down drowning
pain removing past invigorating souls arousing passion toward
new generations of courage fighting souls devouring lies instilling truth
teaching mercy advancing healing

I am inebriated thirsty with desire ready to bear our future here
there is no discrimination vanity of stature and gait shallow comparisons
we are all brothers sisters available to each other we are the
replenishers of the earth the future miners of victory
unseen but prophesied every man every woman of childbearing age
paired with another the music invites unification hot
bodies grind in seductive hypnosis it is time to produce
strong courageous warriors destroying compromises of
western desire lures the weak disguised in rhetoric of advancement
it is time to sway with the orchestra of ancient musicians to
copulate the moon is full the moment right time limited
dance the dance of reproduction with energy envision strength
beauty takes roots courage grows within you tonight you will deliver

Stomping stomping the drums are fading shouting hooves
screeching tires noises of every kind booths thud upon angered dirt
guns scuffling barriers on every side closing in anger
fills the air wailing from inside barns, shacks, forests screams
in synchronized tone valleys and mountains echo back
wombs expel mighty warriors ready for battle bathed in music souls
that will not be condemned cannot be condemned spring forth giants
equipped in every way for the war on our kind passionate brilliant
refuting lies unmasking curses shaming oppressors exposing atrocities
retreat! retreat! now bring back the music anew sweet inviting pleasant
that which was stolen reclaim share with the world our abilities our strength our
passion our vibe our spirit our love our dreams our hopes our New Orleans and Liberia it is time for us to live again live again in harmony in truth in deed
listen to the emancipating liberating freeing sounds of victory drums drumming
