Recitation of Poem by my friend, Roland Ruiz
This is a 1.24 Mb MP3 file that plays for 0:54 minutesCan you hear the drums?
Are they beating to the rhythm of death?
No, my friends,
there is no rhythm to death!
Death is a silent song sung by unheard voices
Can you hear the drums?
Are they beating to the rhythm of life?
No, my friends,
the rhythm of life is joyous!
Life is a loud song sung by tireless voices.
Can you hear the drums?
Are they beating to the rhythm of remembrance?
Yes, my friends,
the rhythm of remembrance is melancholy.
Remembrance is a soft song sung by knowing voices.
Listen to the drums, and
remember the drummers.
