Healing Dance Poem by Chidi Okoye

We've been engulfed in a dance of hate 
to appease self 
swam in pools of confusion to 
find solace 
cultivated in land of vengeance to 
be at peace 
And dread the harvest of sin.
 
We have drowned spirit of joy to 
create sorrow and solitude of self 
In attempt to stay king in world 
of selfishness 
Stepped on souls of meek and weak 
brutalized heads on our way to the top 
to be rewarded by nature. 
Look up to the moon and sacred mountains 
of the sky 

Listen to the songs of sacred land 
Feel the healing wind of sea 
Step into the vibrations of energizing 
songs of sun. 
Let's dance beyond rhythm of sorrow 
Lift our legs and hands in praise 
of life. 
Dance to the wind of drums for the 
rejuvenation of souls.
