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
