Music

Whether you like rock or rap
Or classical or jazz,
Music is the equalizer
Everybody has.

Often we’ve heard quoted, “Music
Soothes the savage beast.”
Listening to music helps
Emotions get released.

Opera may make you cry
And hip hop make you dance;
Show tunes make you sing along
And some inspire romance.

Salsa music makes you move
And reggae makes you jive;
Marching music, so emphatic,
Shouts, “I am alive!”

We need sunshine, food and drink
And love to help sustain us,
But music is the magic
With the power to unchain us.

Music was ALWAYS a part of my childhood... it gave me a voice to be able to sing in choral societies later in life. So, YES! music is part of my DNA. Talk about SMOOTH and SILKY! I can always rely on your cadence and rhyme, cornerstones of your poetic creativity, to which I say Y E S!!! Best wishes, Keith
