What am I doing?
Why –
Can’t you see?
I’m raising awareness so you can see
That being aware is the best you can be
Since being aware makes you totally free!
I mean…
Sure you’re aware of the nastiest things
That would make your Momma ashamed;
Sure you’re aware of most one-sided schemes
While you dance like a puppet on jangling strings,
Bound to squawk like a parrot now taking to wing
And repeat your awareness to value your name –
But, Hey! You’re aware! Be glad that you are!
No matter what made you aware from the start,
Whether born from within or from some distant star –
Because you! You are the star!
No matter how deep in the crowd you’ve been tarred.
With empathy, # or poem, complaint or a shout,
Talk long enough so there’s no room for doubt –
Raise awareness to make them aware
And they’ll all be aware that you are!
