"A GRIOT SPEAKS"
A Griot speaks.... words circulate around a small room and resonating like burning sage Congas spits sonnets eyes weep enlarging pendulums forcing truth accepted or not... A griot speaks..... once a shorty in writing workshops under manmade towers and prophets' eyes zero to 1965 he kept pace of changing face frowning on self hate and brutality plus corruption of lies lies and more lies. A griot speaks..... spoken word edutainment live in Long Beach mecca of free speech cooling in shades of the motherland serenade by bandstands dancing stanzas not memorized so it's read off page. A griot speaks.... now celebrated honored shown respect for his contributions challenging status quo encouraging us to grow and become our own griots. To be continued..... Copyright 2015 R.M.
