Make Art not War

MAKE ART NOT WAR (song)


{ CHORUS : Make art, not war
Open doors, go beyond
your little ponds
Let’s birth new mirth
For Earth, for Earth } x2


Singers ! Let song flow in parts
open bars of vanquished hearts
trumpet truth trebles, no darts
on a guitar string rhythmic jiggle
capture sweet children’s giggles


Poets ! Write for downtrodden bands
word the blood that freed our lands
fingers on computer keys
stroke new marches to the
ONENESS with ease


{ CHORUS : Make art, not war
Open doors, go beyond
your little ponds
Let’s birth new mirth
For Earth, for Earth } x2


Painters ! No need to haste
in studio make your paste
brush a different taste
Cover vacant spaces with
Rivers, faces or aces


Dancers ! Let duos be more
than a bore in sequinned furore
legs shaking, make-up flaking
Do the gumboot, the moonwalk
ballroom or samba, no talk



{ CHORUS : Make art, not war
Open doors, go beyond
your little ponds
Let’s birth new mirth
For Earth, for Earth } x2
