Creative Streak Sparks

We need your voice, don’t hide in the closet
Your creative streak mines a valuable deposit
In the coffers of the Earth and the great human spirit
Can you feel it, smell it, taste it, can you hear it?
The days of self doubt and tamping down are through
You are needed to help the collective pull through
This sludge of the patriarchal nightmare breaks down
Revealing an equity we’re peacefulness-bound
Bring out your truth, your words, your kindness
Your spontaneous true heart, let yourself find this
The energy that keeps us all afloat
Must come from dispelling the fears by rote
Say what you feel, dive into that pool
Be free to tell the tale, be daring, be cool
The only way to uncover this prosperous bliss
Is to speak out in tumultuous times like this.
