An Ode to the Muse

I’m a slave to the muse

She controls what I write

My hands go crazy

When she takes flight

Words are my sanity

With books I am free

Music is my religion

Church is always in session

Human masters have no hope

I only bow to that which inspires me

You can’t control that which

Can’t be seen

I don’t control the muse 

She controls me

I’m a slave to the muse

But it doesn’t bother me

The words are true

Dark as they may be

Words have power 

That money can’t buy

And with that power

We live to defy

That which tries to bring us down

Make us less than what we are

The power of words 

Makes us strong

Listen to the muse

Find your voice

Take your stand

Art is war

And we are the front lines

State your place

Join the Tribe

Together we’ll win

For we far out number them

I’m a slave to the muse

But that’s okay

Because Art Saves

And words never go away
