After a conversation with Fadescha


On Love 

In the age of truth you will be accepted
Now is not your turn
In the age of truth your ways of loving will be the right way again
Then you will not be bound
And nor will your lovers

The chains of owning, the cycles of using and throwing –
Objects
People
Emotions
These equations of the market
These toxic systems

Would finally be broken
And only the free shall sing
These structures and their keepers
Afraid of the secrets of love
Will be buried forever under the rubble of their own hate and fear

When time has had enough
The timekeepers will come calling
At their door, on their streets, in their cafes, in their banks and schools
And the timekeepers will
Do their dance,
Make their art
Sing loudly and clearly
In places where silence and compliance had rotted everything away.

And that art that they will make
The truth that they will speak
The voices of the voiceless they will carry
The love they will bring to the unloved

It will renew that which has decayed
That will be our resistance
That will be our art
That will be our revolution

That day you will be saluted for how you loved and lived today.
