Change happens by listening and then starting a dialogue with the people who are doing something you don't believe is right.

Samuel and Harold discuss Ovid's dictum
S You look much the same, Harry
H You don’t look much different, Sam
S Though times change
H They don’t stay the same
S Or perhaps they seem to change
H Or seem to be different
S And we change too
H We’re not quite the same
S Though perhaps they only seem to change because we’ve changed
H Perhaps we’re different and they only seem to change
S On the other hand, perhaps times do change and we only seem to change
H Perhaps we only seem to change because times do change
S Or perhaps both change
H Perhaps neither stay the same
S That would make it difficult to tell
H It wouldn’t be easy
S Perhaps you’ve changed and I don’t notice it
H Or perhaps I’ve changed and you don’t notice it
S I feel mostly the same, though
H I don’t feel much different
S Though in some ways I feel different
H I don’t feel quite the same myself
S Life moves on
H It doesn’t stay the same
S Though I’d know you anywhere
H I can’t imagine not knowing you. Anywhere.
S Our plays change, but the dialogue…don’t you think?
H They are different, but the dialogue…as you say..
S Alive or dead… the play doesn’t change…
H Dead or alive…the play stays much the same, , ,
S Though the dialogue…
H Ah yes, the dialogue…
S Yours, for instance…
H Or indeed, yours…
S That dictum of Ovid…
H Ah yes, Ovid’s dictum...
S So true…
H Not untrue…
S Plus ca change... as they say, Harry...

It's All About To Change
(Travis Tritt)
What made you think I'd let you
Go on treatin' me this way
What made you think I'd let you run me down
I have tried to keep my cool
But I will not play your fool
And it's all about to change starting now
Girl, if you had your way, I'd be crying everyday
Happiness it one thing you would not allow
I have listened to your lies, you can't say I haven't tried
But, it's all about to change starting now
I once believed you cared for me, boy, was I ever wrong
Still you made me love you I still don't know how
It's a game that I can't win but I'll be damned if I give in
'Cause it's all about to change starting now
Repeat Chorus
Yeah, it's all about to change starting now

A Changer Change
A change we need
A change I believe in
A change starting with me
A change starting with you
A change capable of changing the old rules
That change will modify
Our messed up world
If we believe in it
And start acting
On the little we can afford
To impact in it
That change is
Our real chance to grow,
That change is
Our quest to right all wrongs,
That change is
Our ability to stand united
And face our problems
That change is our opportunity
To prove critics wrong
That change is our legendary
For unborn generations
That change is us
Together we’ll better our world
Together we can,
Yes we can!

Dialogue
dialogue...
honest, naked talk,
undefined listening.
we are the bridge,
the tool, and the result...
but only if we dare!
you cannot heal
what you cannot touch.
you cannot touch,
without dialogue!

Mankind United
sitting in the church pew
listening to the priest
all my emotions began to unleash.
listening about all the worlds disasters
and help reaching HAITI so much faster.
people are starting to learn to care
and their feelings they're starting to share.
the LORD has a reason
for the taking of so many lives.
and all of these disasters
for the unity of man
is what he is after.
mankind is starting to act
to the plight of others.
saving children, sisters and brothers
and the fathers and mothers.
how would you feel if the
earthquake was where you lived.
would'nt you want a helping hand
from a neighbor to give.
and if the one that was
under all that rubble
was lacking air and you
had the means and you really cared.
wouldn't you give that breath of air
and all the life saving equipment
that you could share.
this is what mankind united
can and will do
it all depends upon me and you.

So, poetry becomes a means for useful dialogue between people who are not only unknown, but mute to each other. It produces a dialogue among people that guards all of us against manipulation by our so-called leaders.

'Who was listening
when I apologised
for my life? '
I jotted that down
in a moment of regret
over the wasted things
of life, that is, my life..
and thought, that
sounds a bit like dialogue
or rather monologue to audience
stage or stalls
in Chekhov
so if no-one was listening
well, that's that
but suppose that 'everything'
was listening, and made
changes so subtle that
they'll go unnoticed except
that I find I have
nothing to apologise for
even to myself

Just Fooling Myself
I tell myself that I’m a great poet,
and people will listen because I have something to say.
But now I’m starting to wonder am I just fooling myself.
When I speak is anyone really listening or am I just fooling myself.
Are my words as meaningful as Keats, Poe or Angelou or am I just fooling myself.
Well, no matter if no one is listening or remembers my name I will never stop writing poetry.
Because if I tell myself I can live without poetry then I truly will be Just fooling myself

Starting Over Blues
I am starting over my life here at home
By making some changes to my life
So that I can improve the quality of my life
I am starting my life over
Because I made so many mistakes in my life
But I finaly learned all the lessons in life
I am starting over my life
By going out more
And socializing more with people
Because I love people
And I get along with people very well

Does Anybody Hear Me
Chorus:
Does anybody hear me?
Is anybody listening to whats going on?
Before we move on.
Does anybody hear me?
Is anybody listening?
How can we change hate?
Before its too late?
Verse 1:
Young with dreams, (ooo oo)
Had em for a long time (ooo oo)
Well nothings impossible
As long as you put your mind to it.
Sometimes you wanna let go
Hold on tight
But you gotta believe
With God on your side
Chorus:
Does anybody hear me?
Is anybody listening to whats going on?
Before we move on.
Does anybody hear me?
Is anybody listening?
How can we change hate?
Before its too late?
Verse 2:
Happy, (ooo oo)
Thats all youll ever wanna be. (ooo oo)
Well, knowledge is power,
Absorb as much as you need
At times I feel like love passed me by
Just imagine how the kids feel inside.
Chorus:
Does anybody hear me?
Is anybody listening to whats going on?
Before we move on.
Does anybody hear me?
Is anybody listening?
How can we change hate?
Before its too late?
Does anybody hear me? (when you feel you need a friend)
(anybody listening...)
Is anybody listening to whats going on?
(on.... yeah, yeah, yeah)
Before we move on.

Black Bruises II
I can ponder upon the blackness,
the garrulous of silence
placated by benign solitude
I can endure the ostracizing
listening to lulling lullabies,
listening to trembling metals,
listening to enraptured echoes,
listening to a soundless shattering,
listening to nothingness,
listening to guffawing crows,
listening to diffident clocks,
listening to the waning time;
but am I the only one listening
to these black bruised whispers?

Listening to what people were saying wasn't even important. But it was important to look as if you were listening to what people were saying. Actually, listening to what people are saying, to me, interferes with looking as if you were listening to what people are saying.

Starting To Remember
(lebon, rhodes, cucurrullo)
How to begin?
Do I shed a skin
Now that I am starting to remember
It takes a while
But you find a way to open up the door
Let the demons walk
Now that I am starting to remember
Cant change my world
I was happy ever after
Was it only yesterday
I bought the dream
But I dont sleep no more
Counting the hours
Till the dawn
Now that I am starting to remember
How to love
How to learn
Draw like a child
Run for miles and miles
Now that I am starting to remember
Who I am
Another lonley night ahead for me now
Buried in the dakening day
That lingers on
And drags me down
But youve got to believe
Time will heal

A Communication Revolution Model?
1) The old man and the sea, catching a big fish whose flesh had been
eaten by sharks
2) The young artist whose effort and artwork has been eaten by
con-artists in he name of community development and substainability
3) The experienced and talented whose works has been eaten by an
psedu-art agent
4) equal dialogue beyond situational dialogue without incentive
and performative
language
where is the honest communication which can raise, creat and
change true intellectual
and behavioural education realms?

Bigger Picture
Im starting to see a bigger picture
Im beginning to colour it in
Im starting to see a bigger picture
Im beginning to colour it in
My soul the sky, my heart a sun
My mind a world - my only one
My thoughts the people, the world around
My dreams the kings - or the clowns
Im starting to see a bigger picture
Im beginning to colour it in
Im starting to see a bigger picture
Im beginning to colour it in
The continents and the seven oceans
Bound the range of my emotions
My time is long but not forever
My moods are the changing wind and weather
Im starting to see a bigger picture
Im beginning to colour it in
Im starting to see a bigger picture
Im beginning to colour it in
Colour it in !
Colour it in !
