the story teller poet can build
cause effect bridges teach
wisdom insight into social
decision making processes
life decisions can heal hurt harm
when people gather around ancient
sacred fires to hear exciting or tragic tales
of past epic exploit events calamities deeds
in massive built into hillsides ancient
stone circumference theatres watch ancient
plays tragedy comedy as characters actors
play out emotive tales of life to gathered
audience communities to entertain yet
teach moral consequences impact truth
a society can be gathered focused
on same stage page the same occurring
life lessons to absorb evaluate social impact
to creative unified individuals communities
that wise decisions wisdom prosper avoiding
tragedies of foolish evil dark deed decisions
the story teller the poet can build bridges
between cultures societies languages
to teach wisdom verse explore where real power resides
in wise insight educated people blessing themselves
their families their communities their life lived countries
multiple cultures nationalities can harvest
the golden fruit of wise decision making
kindness gentleness nurtured lives blessing
