The Band Played On.

Are we all

So equal to

One another?

Or

Is our diversity

That witch sets

Us all apart?

Like Blues

And

Rock and Roll

Both entertaining

Both original

Both creative

Yet so different

Within the

Musical world

And

My soul sways

To the rhythm

Of diverse beats

While my mind drifts

With freedom amidst

The world

Of the living

The dead

Past and future

I roam about freely

With feelings of

Regret and wonderment

Thinking about

What ifs

And

What could have been

If only

Or

If maybe

I had done

Or said

Just pushed myself

To be

What I knew

I could be

Only if

I had done

then

Back in time

With my freedom

My thoughts

Then they

Would have

Really been free

Without regrets

or wonderments

And the trees

Would no longer

Blind me

From the forest

That surrounds

My soul

As my

Flesh

And

The music would

Play on

Soothing me

Instead of

Reminding me

Of

What ifs

Very nice. My favorite line is,
"My soul sways
To the rhythm
Of diverse beats"

Mostly because I use this line almost exactly in a poem a wrote a few years back.
"I'm swaying the the rhythm of an exotic beat."

I was very surprised to see that line! But as a whole I think this piece is melodic. It reads like a song which is a wonderful compliment to the content. I like it. Thanks for writing.

Very good. I loved this piece. Everything just flows so beautifully. This kind of reminds me of my past and how I view myself now. How I wished that I would have pushed so much harder to get to a better place. Great write.. keep it up.

As beautiful and visual as always my friend. You work always reminds me of the past and how I have pushed so hard to thrive in this society where normalcy is vastly over-rated.
