What Would You Like To Hear
If I could morph from human form
into a thing, what would I be?
I’d want to have a positive
influence on humanity.
I wouldn’t be a campaign speech
chock-full of vows too grand to keep
a harsh word or a honeyed lie
that makes a shattered lover weep
a game promoting violence
that infiltrates a young child’s mind.
New me won’t be political,
just something simple and so kind.
Time’s moving fast. I must decide
before my hair grows grayer!
I’ve got it now. Y’all please don’t laugh.
I’ll be a CD player.
We all know music’s powerful;
it has been through the ages.
It’s there for us in times of peace
and soothes when chaos rages.
It’s part and parcel of our lives;
our spirits it engages.
What can I play for you today?
What is your heart desiring?
My purpose is to bring you joy
and play some tunes inspiring.
I’m here for you and proud to be
a part of musicality!
