Question The Answer is going to be the title of my forthcoming community collaboration album. The concept behind each tune is dependent upon what the person I'm collaborating with think are the 3 most important questions we should be asking ourselves. M Dots 3 questions were What is my purpose? How can I achieve my goals? and Are my goals realistic? I then used these questions as a stimulus and inspiration to write the following verse. Please let me know what you think and any constructive criticisms you would be willing to share. Many thanks.
As the coffin was slowly lowered the people were passing about the party poppers
the coppers took off their hats as masked up Anarchists smashed up parliament offices
Anonymous Derby Autonomous artists spoke of the part of her politics
to the masses that gathered to pay their respects to her passion for peace and equality
freedom, democracy, speaking with honesty, synergy being the key
a person committed to living her dreams with a liberty dignity dared to scream
declared her feelings, teared at the seems of history, listened and stared at the scenery
shared her memes and cared for the people she barely knew and prepared for the plenary
and the means that she used were the seeds of a future she sowed with each act
reflecting on practise she asked the past a question that answered those digging up facts
it's only with praxis that this person determined a path fit that sits
naturally with her tactics that capitalism attacked
it's tragic the baton had cracked her head, she was trapped in a kettle and taxed so the feds
could attack to protect the class interests of the capitalists keeping us oppressed
and the media suggests with the T.V and the press that we're blessed by the police, demonising dissent
free speech and the right to protest, people wept in the silence she left
Mate I really like that, the flow is smooth overall but dances about all over the place, floats like a butterfly, stings like a bee! It's political and angry without ranting, has empathy and wisdom throughout.
