Expression is Human
Experience reconnection - by being creative.
Expression is human
We express ourselves with movement in the womb
Before we make sound
We dance inside our cocoons
Without known reason
We sing our 1st song
Before we know our voices, without volition
We scream into the room
We scrawl, scribble and scratch
We leave marks without a pen
We shaped we formed we imitated
Busy hands from the moment we’re born
And after we explored
Discovering what these bodies can do
We organised
We read, we wrote, using words to describe
We created structures, raised enclosures
Where we live and reside
Eventually we decided
To give our fears a name
We called it God or Devil
Then told the story to explain
We formed our councils
Invented our rules
We exchanged, bartered and commerce emerged
We no longer heard our intuition
Inner voice submerged
We think our intellect created society
But before civilisation
Was the body
And sound
The eyes witnessed and our hands recorded
Songs followed our cries, released unbound
Before the dusty academics made their claims
Culture was formed by creativity
Expressing this gift that we all possess
Is what it is called
Humanity
