Book of Songs

“Sing and Beat”

Do not dance
Do not sing
Sing without me
Sing with no voices
Voices unheard
Voices of joy
Joy is harmony
Joy is cries
Cries from adults
Cries of babies
Babies are cute
Babies have songs
Songs not written
Songs not played
Played on air
Played in concert
Concert and Opera
Concert has melody
Melody is key
Melody touch lives
Lives that are stoned
Lives that hate
Hate is not good
Hate is bad music
Music for mothers
Music of lovers
Lovers love songs
Lovers write poems
Poems go deep
Poems talk to sons
Sons are stubborn
Sons are strong
Strong at arms
Strong at heart
Heart is tissue
Heart is soft
Soft for growth
Soft for kings
Kings conquer
Kings rule
Rule their hearts
Rule their homes
Homes not buildings
Homes are souls
Souls of children
Souls that beat
Beat for all
Beat as one
One…
All…
