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!
