The war of sound
Recently, there was a subtled battle,
Between the sound from a shop and the piano.
At first, it was just a little issue,
Then it grew bigger and uglier,
Between the personnels and me.
For exactly eleven months,
I have been playing the piano for fun,
The unique half a century old melodies,
Have brought so much joy and effective therapy,
To the public and to me.
I made big efforts to come here.
To share the free music instrument.
However, for the past few weeks,
One particular shop in the food court,
Has made attempts to put a stop,
At least to suspress the sound of the piano.
By playing songs on electronic player or radio.
After taking notices the matter for weeks,
It has become obvious that it was a way of protesting
Against me by one particular shop keeper.
The sound from their songs,
Was excessively loud and high pitch.
The Shopping Centre has delayed
The central music by one hour,
But the shop turned on soon after the piano.
I never repeated the music on a daily basis.
Prior to this conflict,
I have had at least 30 minutes.
Now, no more quiet time to record my playing.
Maybe for sure, the music from me,
Were boring and too simple,
But at least they were free and pleasure,
Purely for enjoyment and relaxing purposes,
It also served as therapy for me and some audiences.
But the protestors switched on extremely loud songs.
What about their food, repeated days in days out,
Weeks after weeks for months and years,
And also last but not least,
Their food was not free.
So, they only knew how to work against me.
There would be people who disliked their food equally
As the shop keeper disliked my piano music.
At the least I played international language,
Unlike the shop who played their own language.
After few weeks, I started playing the western music,
That was when I heard loud radio in English.
I applied the ear plugs,
Which hurt me after ten minutes.
They could not block the loud noises,
From the shop and I became so annoyed.
Once. I deliberately walked into
The food court at odd hours,
Just checking out if the conflict,
Also happened to others pianist.
No. Nothing liked what happened to me.
Once I arrived one hour late,
I was surprised, the Centre was so quiet,
Few minutes after I started to play,
The prerecorded songs were loudly played on.
I checked withanother shop keepers,
Much closer to the piano.
They said my piano music
Caused no problem to them.
I did not know how to fix the situation.
All good thing comes to an end.
