David William Breidenthal Poet Free verse

Songs and Noises

Altos and sopranos
Blend - songs
Are heard in the distance . .. . . . .. . .
bass and tenors sings songs of joy
Noises...(pleasant noises to be precise)
Musical noises increase in volume
Some people talk and sing at the same time
Some are having the time of their lives
Then...something breaks the innocence of a professional choir - 
Bad language! I bet you didn't expect that, did you!?
People speak freely now 
It's as if the teacher is saying, "Go ahead, class, and cuss all you want now!"
Very loud - the commotion is banging at my ear drums
My ears are sensitive to the noise
Yearning to hear songs instead of chit-chatters
I wanna hear music, not the latest gossips!
Songs and noises get my full attention in a good and bad way . . . 
Just sayin'. Now, I'm hear payin' the price.
I'm obeyin'. Now, can I roll the dice?

John Pen June 12, 2014 at 4:05 AM Next door to bliss lives chaos. Most of our lives are filled with noise when we would rather be listening to the choir next door. We wanna end up in heaven but may well end up in that other place..........what do you call it?
