An ancestral call from within us
A duty because we can
A cry for help, a need to remember
A last chance to escape reality
We create to heal
To speak when no one is listening
A desperate attempt to find pleasure
To feel like we’ve done something right
Ideas always festering
Flowing from our fingertips and minds
We create to imagine new possibilities,
and to capture the ones that never last
To learn, to practice,
to survive and to satisfy
To record life as we know it,
and for what we want it to be.
