The Lost Song

Music is dying, computers are taking over... :(

Like a rock
In the bottom of a stream
Lying there
Surrounded by so many

There once was a day
We dug for rocks
Now they're all the same
We just grab talentless mocks

Why can't we see
The sound of true beauty
Why can't be hear the look of a real guitar
Music is disapearing
Into computers
These robots

What happened to a person
Sitting behind a set of drums
Banging away
With the rythm and the beet
Flying through their hands

A person holding a bass
Not there to be dropped
But to be played
Like a Bass God
Like Geddy Lee

Some one singing into a mic
Singing their heart and soul out
For the world to hear
So trained and yet untouched a voice
Screaming through the amps
Like an eagle flying over a mountain range

Guitars being strummed
Not created by notes being put into a computer
But with tabs and chords
With pics and fingurs

So many things being lost
Lost with the sweet sound of real music
Sound that is still around
But we need to open up our ears
Open up our hearts
And open up our minds

To conforming to the old world
A world of Rock N Roll
A world full of soul

A world where Music lives on forever
Not just in your ears
But in your heart

This is an excellent poem. It is sadly true what is dying out due to electronics now a days. We are overcome by the need to do as much as possible and while the gadgets are portable, we find it harder to carry a song in our hearts. This is nicely and eloquently penned. Best regards,
