The Songs That Chant Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

'I' the verses, the songs, the chant

the lyre that sings, the harp nobly
drawn

the notes lurid and noble through the
halls of kings and emperors
ringing

I am the dancing animals in zoos

I am the I of so many verses

I am not only for to-day but for
the future

I am the Spirit that unlocks doors and
cells
frees minds and bodies
gives rest to the pains
pulls out the conscious brains
replace by the sub-conscious grey
and white
I am who clone humans from skeletons
and tombs
I am who blows life in all kinds of
wombs
I, with me, children will be born
I, with me, children healthy be
and live
I am, I am who do all this and more
