THE POWER OF THE STORYTELLER
Derrick E Carey 1981 (Sarasota)
Escaping the
Tragedy of
Another day
It's unbelievable
How easy
A story
Can influence
The mind
And hearts
Of so
Many
How a story
Can challenge
Our
Very
Own
Social society
And identity
The story
Itself
Is measured
In theory
Unsupportive to
The truth
And it's important
That one knows
His own
Truth
It is
The job
Of the storyteller
To deliver
The message
To the listener
And if
The storyteller
Does their
Job
The right
Way
That story
Will live
On forever
In the
Hearts and
Thoughts
Of the listener
And the listener
Will bring
More listeners
To the
Storyteller
