Tempest Poem by Edwin Torres

everyone will feel better
hearing what you are saying
since what you are saying
no one told you to say

everyone will feel better
hearing what you are saying
since what you are saying
no one told you to say

a number of people
have gathered and stopped
for whatever it takes
to say what you say

a number of people
have gathered and stopped
for whatever it takes
to say what you say

something is happening
that hasn't been seen
making what happens
the opposite of seeing

something is happening
that hasn't been seen
making what happens
the opposite of seeing

saying what there is
in a time like now
means never knowing time
if time can be right

saying what there is
in a time like now
means never knowing
time if time can be right

it is your job
to witness your world
to tell who will listen
so they listen like you

it is your job
to witness your world
to tell who will listen
so they listen like you

we will storm you with words
you will have an entire ocean
we will make you our raindrop
you will have no umbrella
we will teach you our water
you will drown in our words
we will give you an ocean
you will swim in our wash
we will make you our rain
you will have no umbrella
we will water your ocean
you will drown in our words
we will swim in your storm
you will rain in our ocean
we will teach you our water
you will drown in our words
