Christmas Bells

Christmas Bells

~ Bells that ring past darkness and light,
   Sounds that echo and take a flight,
   Vibes that always tune up just right,
   Colors that brighten up the night.
   Sleigh bells ringing and dinging 'round,
   Any child will love the sound,
   Its rare appearance will astound,
   While Christmas Day I sing songs-found.

Music of the Common Man

Music of the Common Man

~ Music was mundane and real
   And brought for uses of appeal
   Yet something here is not quite right,
   As now it's made just for the deal.

~ Music used to be for fun
   Ideas were thought up on the run
   Today it's seen as not the same,
   As licks and songs are overdone.

~ Music was a way to perk  
   Our hearts and minds were filled with irk
   Those pains will only grow full-strength,
   With songs now titled, "You're a Jerk."

~ Music came from those with pride
   From those who fully worked and tried
   Now, most artists lack the effort
   Critics listen, just to abide. 

~ Music...what more can one say?
   We listen to it every day.
   New novelties wear our pleasures thin
   "Can music be restored?", I pray.
