The Music

A homage to my favourite art.

 
Every atom is a single song
all you do is sing along.
To that all pervading symmetry
honed by musicality.

In the beginning there was a chord
no human tongue could express.
In the toll of saint or sword
or those long laid to rest.

Our duet of twining lives.
Major, minor as one key
until the final discord dies
at the whispering of the sea.

No chorus, a solo every one.
Six billion swirling melodies,
though many songs will be undone
by joyfulness or tragedies.

Sometimes the notes may wend away.
One pure voice will start a new refrain.
Raise the sun, it dawns one more day.
Sing now, you’ll not be heard again.

Put you hate on paper
They won’t know it’s you
All people are the same
Gain major fame
Sign here in blood
And you’ll win the game
It’ll sell well
But a trip to hell
Hell, what’s it matter
Have a bestseller
In your wallet now
Choose wisely
Poverty or riches
Your own bitches
Stop being one
