And All That JazzA Poem by TTBoy28A be-bop and you don't stop Lose one genre and there's a flop The hip hop cool artists of yesterday have paved the way for them today
They created and played the high notes that today enable youngsters to buy cars and boats And planes, trains, and automobiles tell the stories of how one feels
Just listen closely today and you'll hear all the disrespect and ample fear For many would like to forget the past and use their talent and keep the cash
Their parents have not taught them of the role they played in history As melodic as a gospel hymn without proper credit jazz artists aren't even a mystery
There are those of yesteryear when vibing to a mixed tune would silently and gently cheer tossing their head back towards the moon
Reflecting so on days of old can then bring resentment and fear For sharing tales of glory and gold today is thought best kept in the rear
And all that Jazz still is heard It's just not remembered the way it should be But today is today with the spoken word And the stage is set for those we see © 2010 TTBoy28Featured Review
