Can We Say It Loud Enough
Whispers of Life: Dean Omori's Poetic Reflections on Humanity
Lyrics
And this is all you're ever gonna need to know
These words contain the essential knowledge required.
If the world were smaller it would have died of us long ago
If the world were smaller, our impact would have destroyed it by now.
And why have unproven faiths more respect than earth
Why do unproven beliefs receive more reverence than our planet?
Youth riding busted boom what's tomorrows worth
Youth pursuing a broken future - what value does the future hold?
The poet stays with you when everyone has gone
The poet's impact lingers even after everyone else has departed.
And oh prejudice your light is always on
Prejudice persists consistently.
Mother nature take a bow and fill this womb
Applauding Mother Nature and asking for fertility and abundance.
I write not in ink but in perfume
I express not in written words but through a fragrant medium.
Beneath your fathers hat is a ten ton curse
Beneath a paternal figure's appearance lies a heavy burden.
Bass lines are stolen and so are words
Artistic elements like bass lines and words are frequently stolen.
And unkissed children talk the talk of lies
Inexperienced individuals speak falsehoods.
They're starving in the city and the lowlands fear the tides
Hunger exists in urban areas, and coastal regions fear rising sea levels.
And on a London tube I can feel my blood
Emotional intensity rises while traveling in a London subway.
There's no other way to see it
There's only one perspective to perceive this situation.
Can we say it loud enough
Can we express this strongly enough?
Love your brain it will set you free
Loving your intellect leads to liberation.
Go on participate in other peoples destiny
Engaging actively in the lives of others shapes your destiny.
And one day you'll find out what it is you are not
Discovering what you are not defines you eventually.
From a city on fire I feel the weight of God
Feeling the weight of divinity amid a chaotic urban environment.
There's love in the poorhouse before dreams are dry
Love exists even in poverty before aspirations fade away.
Inventing scenarios for an argument you didn't have is an angry life
Creating imaginary conflicts leads to a life filled with anger.
The DNA of man is viral on your history's cloud
Humanity's genetic essence spreads throughout historical records.
There's life in Borough Market and man they turn it up loud
There's vitality in Borough Market, and it resonates loudly.
On a London tube I can feel my blood
A repetition of the emotional intensity experienced in a London subway.
There's no other way to see it
There's only one way to perceive this situation.
Can we say it loud enough
Can we express this strongly enough?
