Not by speeches

It's not by speeches that the crowd moves
Or by the empty faces on the screen
When the crowd becomes
  when it emerges
  it moves by the heart
A turbid river is the waves of the heart
Its rapids roll with fervor
Smashing unsavory boats in its tumbles
Its water irrigates fields
Giving life to new plants
And rejuvenating the soul
