The Drum....... Poem by RIC BASTASA
The Drum.......
the drum
clothed with
sheep's skin
is absolutely
hollow inside
it is named
nothing yet
know its power
for it can call
enemies to war
make naked men
and women dance
for love
it is hollow
you open it
it has only air
and yet
hit it with your
fist and it will
wake all powers of
this world
it can decide
war or peace
live or die
dance or kill
love or love or
love?
