3 texts from 1999: 1 - Music belongs to the listener

If the listener owns the music
then all is changed.
If the listener owns the music
he knows his rights.

But he must also recognise
the rights of every other;
and everyone can accept
what the other knows as true.

He can say “I accept
your truth as true for you
but retain my truth
as true for me…

We agree not to differ
but rather to expand
our understanding of what
the TRUTH may be.

We agree to believe
that the TRUTH is far bigger
than anything
that anyONE can see.”

Art need not be a battleground
where people lose self-worth
but rather a marvellous labyrinth
where souls can meet on earth.

I wish this was true...
