The

In August 2015 Compass put on a night of words and music at the iconic Roundhouse imagining utopia.

You / by Anthony Anaxagorou

So when my son comes into this world
and asks me one very ordinary day
daddy why?
I’ll bring him in close, holding his little hand,
his chest beating and his eyes reflecting the flames, 
then in that moment I’ll confess
because there’s still Hope,
there’s still Love
there’s still You.

The Wall / Rosana Wiseman

Until the walls come crashing down,
Through the power,
And love,
And a rage,
That does not obsess over hate,
That feeds the fire in our hands,
That we pass on through the gates,
Through the borders,
Through the wires,
Throughout the times,
And releases the screws, the fences, the legal
Borders of our minds.
Solidarity,
And care,
And love, more love, more and more love,
Took down these walls
Now we live as we once did
Now, 
We stand together.
