There is incredible beauty in cultural traditions,

those of myth, art, dance, craft and song.

Legendary adventures retold of times long ago.

Folk tales whose moral endings are potent truisms that touch the soul.

Oral wisdoms shared speaking of magical confluences with life.

Celebratory festivals relived as community, music and laughter.

Reminding us of the significance nature has in our lives.

.

Nowadays the main stories are of misinformation, lies told by the elite.

Propagandas disseminated to sustain, perpetuate and control.

Our words end up sterilized, censorship as the acts of this time.

An ongoing pressure to conform to their perpetual hunger for wealth.

.

But for me…

I will keep listening to these mythic fables, gleaming their insightful acumen.

I will continue watching nature’s cycles, seeing them as my own.

I will carry on creating art, writing my own stories as long as my hands will let me.

And I will still speak from the heart, true words of justice, integrity and care.

.

The so called privileged and hierarchical structures are not toppled from above.

But by breaking through the foundation with composts composed of cultural gifts.
