100 Thousand Poets/Musicians for Change - Los Angeles (2012)


The above is a picture of Runyon Canyon in Los Angeles, representing the paths of the Poets and Musicians for Change - Los Angeles!

With over 100 Poets representing the voices of Los Angeles, 100 Thousand Poets for  Change/Musicians for Change, settles in the iconic and historic Literary Arts Center, Beyond Baroque in Venice, California.

Our mic is no stranger to the struggle for representation of the “unseen and unheard”. We’re proud to be a part of worldwide history, as we unite and stand up for CHANGE!

Los Angeles will feature an Open Mic for Change, and include many talented Poets from each end of the political and social spectrum with the profound voices of Susan Hayden, Gia Scott Heron, Billy Burgos, to the performances of Lee Boek, Rich Ferguson, and James Berkowitz, plus voices from the Revolutionary Poets Brigade led by Mark Lipman, and Spanish poets “Poesia” led by Antonieta Villamil, and the musical thunder of the Rooftop Revolutionaries! We are one – we seek nothing but to share what we see – and urge the world to CHANGE!

When everyone was quarantined, I felt like

  "When everyone was quarantined, I felt like..."           I was caged,  my cord cut,            the outside was in,       and I  wasn’t ready for that. I felt like I was out of time                 – no way to re-plan my life,  no way to be by anyone’s side. I like mapping the scene,     feel heat amongst a crowd,  and now, to stay away from them,  I have to hide. Close myself off  my nature,  to enjoy parties  dancing, all the things               feel more alive…  When that door shut, a hurricane hit. JMWC 9/22/20 from class, Panorama High School, 2020

my brain is completely flooded i've rode this train before to a journey laden in cumbersome foot-stomps catching my frolic to the ground, tumbling over some man's arms, thick-legged brawn there is a part of me that says, 'you're too old for this'... maybe to know better is to be declarative and surrender to the certainties in life. however certain and present, the tornado will  follow. it's better to live submissive instead of dismissive to the velocity of life held out in front of you... like the last banana in the fruit bowl, or that chocolate cake you just want to lick. bowl to casket. each motion a delight.

In Honor of Mother Earth

Happy Earth Month!  Right now, we see the blossoms opening, the vines ripening -- the sweet smell of Spring is here! Congratulations to everyone for making it out of the darkness, in this frigid air... the dew of the damp Earth has sprouted many blessings.  Rake up the gentle soil and bring her into your circle. Let the abundance flow into your circle; enjoy the fragrance of your harvest. I wanted to offer up this powerful song; Madre Tierra , by Maya Jupiter. Her message is steady and daring to be spoken into the ears of all who dwell on and know Mother Earth.  Speak righteously, and take care. ~ Jessica ~
