Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>Two emerging Liberian poets have launched a passionate plea for support as they release their first poetry titled \u201cTHIS TOO IS LIBERIA.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dixon Yiadom and Daniel Garteh, Jr said they were motivated to release the piece because they believe every revolution needs a spark and a call to action that will not only bring about awareness, but also points that young people are in the right direction.<\/p>\n

The poetry chronicles the socio-economic problems Liberians continue to endure as a result of bad governance and ways and means to handle these problems with the highest height to the lowest low.<\/p>\n

The duo believes with their voices and passion, they can advocate through poetry for a better healthcare, education, security and the mindset of Liberians.<\/p>\n

Dixon and Daniel have organized themselves into an art group named and styled: \u201cSpoken Word Poetry in Liberia\u201d.<\/p>\n

They maintained in their poetry that young people have the power to lift Liberia out of her struggles, stating that the past doesn\u2019t define the future.<\/p>\n

The two emerging Liberian poets are, meanwhile, calling on fellow compatriots to join the revolution of Spoken Word Poetry in Liberia because this is a conscious art and before there\u2019s any social, political or religious change, there must be a change of consciousness.<\/p>\n

They said: \u201cWe hope Liberians listening to this poem feel the urge to take it upon themselves and be the change they hope for.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is our conviction that Liberians, and most especially, the young people realize that we ourselves are responsible for what we will become tomorrow, and we have the chance, right now, to create the stories we will tell our grandchildren,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n

The pair hopes that each and everyone Liberian can put the country first above everything else and fight for a Liberia that\u2019s indivisible even across party lines.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile more and more Liberians are buying into the idea that there is power in poetry, there is still much more to be done,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut with our aim and Passion, we have resolved to make Spoken Word a norm in Liberia,\u201d the two assured.<\/p>\n
