SPREAD THE WORD: Today’s focus track is Fearless, a beautiful poem, written and read by American poet, professor and the former Poet Laureate of Virginia, Tim Seibles. Tim’s poem speaks to the resilience of nature that stands as a powerful metaphor for resistance and repair needed in these difficult times.

From Singleton’s new album WORD
Vol 1: Words of Peace and Protest

Take a minute, take a listen, be inspired, take action.  Fearless
By Tim Seibles   Good to see the green world
undiscouraged, the green fire
bounding back every spring, and beyond the tyranny of thumbs, the weeds
and other co-conspiring green genes
ganging up, breaking in,
despite small shears and kill-mowers,
ground gougers, seed-eaters.
Here they come, sudden as graffiti

not there and then there—
naked, unhumble, unrequitedly green—
growing as if they would be trees
on any unmanned patch of earth,
any sidewalk cracked, crooning
between ties on lonesome railroad tracks.
And moss, the shyest green citizen
anywhere, tiptoeing the trunk
in the damp shade of an oak.

Clear a quick swatch of dirt
and come back sooner than later
to find the green friends moved in:
their pitched tents, the first bright
leaves hitched to the sun, new roots
tuning the subterranean flavors,
chlorophyll setting a feast of light.

Is it possible to be so glad?
The shoots rising in spite of every plot
against them. Every chemical stupidity,
every burned field, every better
home & garden finally overrun
by the green will, the green greenness
of green things growing greener.
The mad Earth publishing
Her many million murmuring
unsaids. Look

how the shade pours
from the big branches—the ground,
the good ground, pubic
and sweet. The trees—who
are they? Their stillness, that
long silence, the never
running away.

SPREAD THE WORD: Today’s focus track is the ancient but timely poem written by Percy Bysshe Shelly about the inevitable decline of rulers and their hubris, beautifully read by @sydneytorin @adrian.blake.enscoe @reginastrayhorn collectively known as @banditsontherun 🙏🏻

Ozymandias
By Percy Bysshe Shelley

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone stand in the desert.

Near them, on the sand, half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
and wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, tell that its sculptor well those passions read

Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:

“My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!”

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare.
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

SPREAD THE WORD: Irish musician Mick Lynch discusses today’s focus track “In God You’ll Trust”, his incredibly moving contribution to Singleton’s new album WORD Vol 1: Words of Peace and Protest. Link to album in bio.

In God You’ll Trust
By Mick Lynch

Where we’re at I don’t know
Gotta’ move, nowhere to go
All the hope that we shared
Think you’ll find it’s no longer there

Drink the wine
Take a knee
Eat the bread of liberty
And raise a glass to our backs
As we’re led into the black.

We’re the game in the park
We’re your fear of the dark
We’re the plan you endorse
Clear eyed, full force

All hail to a thief
To be cruel is to breathe
But ya’ don’t care anymore
And you won’t
Till it’s at your door.

Dot the i’s to a tee
Sign here you’re free
“Please sir, I did it right
Just like you but you’re white”

You’re the ghost in the hood
You’re the beast in the backwood
But we’re the boots in the mud
In your cells and in your blood
We’re all the rage in your mind
We’re the meat, we’re the grind
We’re the help that you hide
And the smile by your side
We’re the want and we’re the need
We’re a leach, yeah: we’re the greed
We’re a curse but we’re a must
We’re the gold there in the dust

In God you’ll trust
Just not enough
To dare extend the hand of love and mercy

SPREAD THE WORD: Today’s focus track “I Am A Country” is beautifully read by Jeff Bridges. A poem by John Goodwin that explores the country within us all, governed by love and mercy.

From Singleton’s new album WORD
Vol 1 : Words of Peace and Protest

Take a minute, take a listen, be inspired, take action.

i am a country

i am a country
the capital is my mind
the borders are my skin
my anthem is the wind
my people are everywhere
i am surrounded by space

i am a country
my justice is kind
my language is love
my laws are merciful
my headlines are true
my forests are safe

and in this country
there are rivers, there are roads
there are mountains and memories
and distant places on the far side of my soul
some of which I will never see

i am a country
my highways paint the sky
my location is between
my money’s made of tears
my history is known
i am free

i am a country
i am a country

SPREAD THE WORD: Today’s focus track is Pride Breeds the Tyrant, beautifully read by Brooke Adams and Tony Shalhoub. The text is combination of lines from different characters in the play Antigone by Sophocles, written around 422 BC. Amazing (and frightening) how relevant they feel today.   Antigone: I was born to share in love, not hatred. No mortal’s proclamation can outweigh the unwritten, unfailing laws. These laws are not of today or yesterday. They live forever.  Haemon: Whoever thinks that he alone possesses wisdom, or speech, or judgment, reveals himself empty. There is no shame in learning. Yield. Even the strongest trees, bending before the storm, save every twig.  Chorus of Theban Elders: Pride breeds the tyrant. Pride, when filled with empty imaginings, mounts to the highest height, and falls into the deepest ruin.   Haemon: That is no city which belongs to one man  Chorus of Theban Elders: Great words of haughty men are paid for by great blows.  Wisdom is the highest part of happiness.
