Raise a Glass

[Delacroix: Liberty Leading the People]

Raise a glass to the artists,
And artisans, all,
Who have heeded their own inner call.

Raise a glass to the painters,
The poets, et al,
Who’ve championed liberty, for all.

Raise a glass to the dancers,
And musicians through time,
Who’ve moved with their own inner rhyme.

Raise a glass to the writers,
Who’s words, with stretched wings,
Have stopped to question, the conscience of kings.

Raise a glass to creatives,
Who go within, every hour,
And know ‘tis they, who have the real power.
