Today's Video Share: "A Higher Purpose" by Wokepoets / Dale Lawrence

Wokepoets is a collective of several Atlanta-area musicians featuring both female and male vocalists. They create only original music with a focus on social and humanist issues. This song was previously selected as an audio track for the Women of Substance podcast. The cryptic lyric alludes to a higher purpose in life, but the video goes a long way towards putting a face to many of the societal issues that the lyric hints at allegorically. Compassion, love and empathy are not only Christian values. They are essential human values.
