Poem
It seems I'm in the minority here When it comes to what I do to pass the time It's not all that popular anymore To express oneself with line after line Words carry very little weight When pictures do the thinking for you Imagination is a bore When compared to what technology can do I practice an art long forgotten Before all that came to be I just can't help but take in everything; The sun, the birds, the sea It just isn't all that interesting, what's called "Awesome" in the modern sense I try to be bold and say what's on my mind And that's when feelings get tense It's considered by most to be dull and drab Without music to tag along They say "what's the point of these words If not for some catchy song?".
