"We are one" Rick Burnley

Ann Wright  Said of Rick's work:

"Rick Burnley's spoken word is a social justice lesson in verse.  You name the topic-war, peace, torture,jail, grieving-- and he has written and spoken about it with fierceness, passion and truth.  You will be remembering the verses in your mind for years!"

"Poet Rick Burnley, a troubador and bard for our times, a warrior-activist and caretaker for all in the name of justice and peace,has burst like a supernova on our sordid democracy and nation at risk,and is destined to become a national treasure. He is a contemporary Thomas Paine and Paul Revere all in one wrap, an auspicious package. Rick ought to be on the front page of all of our internal media reports, his poetry disseminated widely, and he will, I know receive the recognition that he deserves in our tumultuous times. May we keep his flame of compassion alive and well for many generations."

May all beings be happy and free from suffering,
