The Music Maker

CATEGORY

Views: 155

sometimes I wonder if I am really me

or a just compilation of the greatest hits 
from Hughes and Baldwin
or a re-released recording of 
"Baraka, Live From The Apollo..."
bits and pieces of Brooks 
Angelou
The Last Poets
or a collection of unknown writers 
thrown together in some far flung attempt 
to create a concept album

so
am I supposed to shop my demo around 
as a merchant in some caribbean marketplace
and hope that it makes it into someone's top ten video show?

sometimes I wonder if I am really me

a writer of poems
or just an artist doing live shows today
touring the oldies circuit tomorrow
and later reduced to a footnote in literary history

We are all who we are with inspiring input from others; yet, we're not them but ourselves. Who else can you be besides you you being yourself? Continue being the great music maker that you are! ONE. Peace and Love
