Inspiring
I cant remember when I first found this spoken word poem "People's Faces' by Kae Tempest but it seems more relevant today than ever.
It's where all of the agonising and soul-searching of the entire record culminates in this very simple expression of deep love for people's faces.
It’s hard, we got our heads down and our hackles up
Our backs against the wall, I can feel you aching
None of this was written in stone
There is nothing we’re forbidden to know
And I can feel things changing
Even when I’m weak and I’m breaking I’ll stand weeping at the train station ‘Cause I can see your faces
There is so much peace to be found in people’s faces
