Topic: Music Landscapes Intrusion Fusion

I wrote this after a lady told me her son dresses like a punk rocker while he is only interested in listening to Classical music. Which got my mind thinking about people attitudes to different genres of music.
          Music Landscapes Intrusion Fusion 
One person's music trash is another's driving gas
Guitars scream out, a wailing, fiery plea,
Heavy Metal storm, wild and utterly free
Invading a land where diverse rhythms play
Country people singing at break of day
Warm vibes coming out of guitars strumming
Those who can't sing are humming
Chicken picking guitars played in the open or just, cluck clucking under shaded trees
Feeling free on wide open plains Rock and Roll bounces with glee
Under the mountains Jazz flows smooth like rivers wide
End of day lovers on the move
Swinging hands together watching a moonlit tide  
Buzzing air Strings Classical whispers in the flowing breeze
Religious people get on their knees
As sonnets floats by with effortless ease
Around the main metropolis busy streets Rap’s fierce words like lightning strike,
Echo truths that we all might hike
Each musical tribe dances to its beat
But can they all gather for a treat?
Will the jazz musos join rock's loud calls?
Or country twang break rapping walls?  
Will they clatter like jarring din
Or find the tune that draws them in?
 “Let’s make a mash-up!” someone cried
The open-minded take it in their stride
The narrow minded send a memo, "request denied"
For those who blend their styles beneath one moon
Their harmony hums a magical tune  
People from far and near put up a cheer 
As the different styles hit their ears
Every players note finding its own way   
In peace they play from dusk till dawn
Together strong—forever drawn!

The poet Lauriet  of Chordie strikes again. After reading this I must admit I felt a little guilty as I can't embrace all forms of music. If rap comes on the radio I switch it off. I actually love some classic music, but the patrons are so stuck up they reject people that have natural talent and did not go to college.  I love it when I hear rock music play their hits with full classical orchestras. Case in point; Roger Hodgeson , of Supertramp. Yes, even Deep Purple!

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Cheers Piri I tend to put people into musical categories in my head by their style of living which I know doesn't really apply in the modern world. It most probably dates back to the days of tribes like Mods and Rockers  and the thought that Classical music was stuffy.  Though I have my musical preferences I'm open to hearing differant genres but I mostly stick to Rock , Blues and Folk. I thank the Beatles for opening up my mind to differant music styles.

Wow thank you Jim that was brilliant I wasn't expecting that it made my day. Your added lyrics and music made it real cool now we have a Kenyon/Jville  collaboration. Your a gifted song writer .Maree is a Classical music fan she loved it also . Getting her to like other styles of musical other than Classical can be hard at times but your song hit the mark.
