*Simply 
                  put, it is our age's birthright and the next generation's destiny. 
                  
                  A gathering of the like unseen since the Harlem Renaissance. 
                  Not only are we a poetic paradigm shift, 
                  The New Word Order is a philosophy.  
                   *Throughout 
                    history, poetry has been the connecting force in all vocal 
                    genres. 
                    Whenever a pen touches parchment with intentions of structuring 
                    language for artistic display it is birthed first as poetry. 
                    
                   *You 
                    should be aware that today's art is far from what it once 
                    was. People are dancing in clubs to rhythmic poetry singles 
                    like Common's "Corners" featuring 
                     The Last Poets.
                    Pop artists like Jewel and Alicia Keys 
                    are promoting poetry books and Spoken Word artists like Saul 
                    Williams are doubling as Rock singers. 
                    You might even find a sensual CD of prose placed right next 
                    to a Barry White case just waiting for "that special 
                    romantic moment".
                  Poet-Activists thrive on 
                    lobbying, informing and inspiring change. 
                    Tehut-9, of the Fifth Element, in the January 
                    2005 New Word Order ReachBack Inner-Views said, 
                    "God is a poet". 
                    
                    *God indeed is a poet. He created 
                    life, and life is certainly poetic by nature. 
                    Poetry can offer us the social consciousness of our human 
                    society, clearly displayed for all to see. 
                    From our innermost truths, to our most secretive passions, 
                    
                     poetry weaves life.
                    In the beginning was The Word and God is the poet who wrote 
                    it. 
                    If you want to view the soul of any entity, from a nation 
                    down to a single individual,
                    read the poetry. 
                  *Today's 
                    culture shift and technological advancements offers our generation 
                    a chance to take center stage within the media eye. Everywhere 
                    you look there's poetry. 
                    Unfortunately, as a combined force it is sorely lacking in 
                    application. 
                    With so many groundbreaking and historical achievements in 
                    recent years, the art of The Word in any of its forms, 
                    should be as big culturally as it's sister genre's. 
                    Many of us believe it will be. 
                    That it is ultimately destined to be so.
                    By combining our efforts, We, as The New Word Order artists, 
                    have a rare opportunity in history to present the artistic 
                    use of The Word into mainstream culture. 
                   *Whatever 
                    happens next depends on us as individuals, and yet, none of 
                    us can manage this fated journey alone. 
                    So for the sake of prosperity we must seek to overcome the 
                    invisible boundaries that have kept us divided. 
                    We can earnestly reach back for those who follow diligently 
                    
                    and then reach forward with hope for those pioneers who have 
                    courageously led the way.
                    There is a place for us and about us where poets can display 
                    their art and pursue their artistic dreams. 
                    A place within mainstream media where groundbreaking entertainment, 
                    and unique forms of expressive edutainment 
                    are the expected standard. 
                    
                  We want you to come and join 
                    us there today. 
                    Your time has come. Your stage is set. 
                    Be poets, be proud, and be welcomed to
                  The New Word Order
                    
                 
                 
                   
                    
                    
                    
                      The NWO commitments 
                    1. People 
                      - We are committed to cultivating and promoting the individual 
                      artist first. 
                      Without the creative force that one single imagination can 
                      provide, our genre would be empty.
                    
                      2. Poetry - We are committed to honoring and chronicling 
                      all forms of poetic expression regardless of type, with 
                      the intent of popularizing its potential and appeal as a 
                      cultural phenomenon.
                    
                      3. Providing Resources - We are committed to seeking 
                      and making available shared resources, which further cultivate 
                      free poetic expression. To give it freely if possible, bartered 
                      if able, loaned if available, and traded if that's the best 
                      we can do.
                    
                      4. Providing Outlets - We are committed to providing 
                      and promoting forums for entertaining and edutaining, as 
                      well as presenting quality poetic art through publicly displayed 
                      multi-media outlets.
                    
                      5. Preservation and Recognition - We are committed 
                      to the preserving and recognizing our genre's achievements, 
                      organizations, organizers and artists.
