Process Of Cultural Appropriation

Process Of Cultural Appropriation

By giving voice to mute souls of the world
I am not appropriating their thoughts
to steal experiences I cannot own,
rather I am expressing their strange thoughts
in elegant verse with skill of my craft,
so we all can experience their real life,
and thus sympathize with their hidden dreams
and support their struggle to live with love.

Process of cultural appropriation
could be abused by unscrupulous thieves
who seek to profit from suffering of others,
or can be employed to highlight through art
experiences of the lost and abused
so we can understand how they must feel
as we record in verse full complex range
how souls express energy of desire.

Human tribes that thrive on our spinning globe
develop rituals to harness desire
which motivates their faith to transcend death
expressed in beauty of cultural art,
so we preserve their strange vision of truth
when we incorporate detailed artifacts
through verbal craft that designs one world view
reflecting creative love of human hearts.

The honest poet seeks to understand
experience of life through the alien mind
and thus expand repertoire of performance
presenting complex aspects of the soul
which represents culture of every human
so spirits of special people survive
in detailed legends of their stereotypes
by giving voice to mute souls of the world.
