Dance Poem by Mia La'Niece Washington

dance, dance,
dance, cant you hear the drums
calling to you?

move, move, move,
cant you hear what the voices
of the singers are telling you?

move your feet on the ground,
listin to the drums, beating in your chest
lift your arms, listin to the vocies of the sisters

move your body,
listin to the rythem in your heart,
cant you hear?

they are telling you to dance,
not to stop, keep moving, swaying,
dancing

they are telling you to listin,
listin to what they are saying
move, dance, sway, sing,
they are telling you to never forget,

they are telling you to remember,
they are trying to reach you,
cant you hear the drums?
cant you hear the vocies of the sisters calling
to you?

they are trying to reach you.
but are you llisting?
