No. 245: Weapons of Mass Destruction

We music teachers

often employ unwittingly

weapons of mass destruction

in the name 

of "defining talent."

What is astounding to me 

is that, as a culture

we can look at a horse 

or a dog

or a guinea pig 

who's been neglected

whose basic needs have been witheld

and have immediate empathy

BUT

a Voice Who's been neglected

caged

abused

unseen

unheard

dishonored

shamed

shunned

spat upon

blamed

ignored

and beaten to a bloody, terrified pulp

is not only easy to look upon--

It's MAINSTREAM.

I'm flabbergasted.

I'm stunned.

I'm TIRED 

of this reality.

And so I'm committed through Opera Organically

to spreading the Awareness of a Love Which

Torrential in Its Power

Washes away the lies of incomplete definitions 

Providing the tools for rehabilitation

to a Most Hidden Abused Population

That Lives 

Right

Within US.

When we learn how to heal this hurt

We will never

ever

Be Voice-less again

And All the World Will Be Singing.

THIS is Life.  THIS is Love.  THIS is Opera Organically.
