A Poem by Velcrow Ripper - Spiritual Rebel, Jan. 20, 2009 (May I Add, "So Help Me God." ? + Terry Hammes)
In honour of today's inaugaration:
DARE TO DREAM
For now, let go
Just for now, let it all go
Your worries, your fears
Your addiction to suffering
Put your despair and cynicism
On the back burner
Turn the dial to "off"
And let all that stuff stew in it's own juices.
Let your seen too much eyes
Be fresh and clear again
Let your heard too much ears
Open to the music of hope
Let your felt too little skin
Feel the ecstasy of possibility
Again
Feel the wind of change
Again
Let your battered and beaten heart
Beat proud and loud and full of fire
Again
Let your shaken and broken soul
Be whole and fierce
Again
Let your Love shine out
Let your voice speak up
Yes, we know, we've heard,
all the doubts, all the complaints,
all the limitations and hesitations
that will arise
In this all too real world
But today, let all that fall away.
Just for a day.
Tommorrow, tommorrow, tommorrow...
It's time to take responsibility
To take a chance
To become the dream you dare to dream today
Take a chance
To make that dream into reality
Take a chance
To become the change
You know is coursing and bubbling through your veins
No one else but you
Can do this
As we step into the Obama era
It's up to us to keep on dreaming
No one needs to do it for us
Not me, not him, not them -
Just you.
Because, this is about you.
Today, I dare you to dream.
Tomorrow, I dare you to become that dream.
~Velcrow Ripper, on the day of Obama's inauguration
