Songs
send simple
profound messages
Even when all
seems lost
There is
always
Music

That’s how
Musicians
find their
Niche
into Fame

Movement
Expression
Key note
Ripple
Effects

Speaks
to the
Power  
Music has
In bringing
People
Together

Creating
Hope
when
we have
nothing
else,

Music
will always
be there to
bring about
change
Peace

Yet
profoundly
powerful
effects
can also
Change Society
clear examples are;

John Lennon’s
imagine 1971
invites us to
Question our Values
in the world
we live in and
Imagine one
that is simpler
Where all live in peace

In doing so
Society must
give up their
Beliefs in God

Music  
can be
Hypnotic
a snappy beat
a catchy tune
Singing lyrics
without realizing
What the words
Represent

Lyrics such as;
AC/DC 1979
“I’m on a highway to hell “
Eagles 1972
“Witchy women see how high she flies “
John Lennon 1971
“Imagine there’s no heaven it’s easy if you try “

Each of these
Rhythmic
song beats
Keep us
Hypnotized to
what we’re
Singing

I used to laugh
when my parents insisted
Rock music was
Satan’s bandwagon
The Pied Piper
The devils playpen

Blurring
differences between
wrong and right

Teens
Rationalized
it’s just a song
Get real
Give me a Break

We were
a BeatNick
Generation
of ignoramus

You don’t know
what you don’t know
until you know it


Footnote
My heyday was the 1970s Living in Southern California, rock ‘n’ roll and every type of bands from easy listening, country, and everything in between. My youth church group in an. attempt to open dialogue between the teenagers and parents asked each person to bring in their favorite album. And we were going to have Music appreciation and talk about that particular album. So that meant somebody who brought in John Denver got equal respect as somebody who brought in the Doors or Led Zeppelin, Simon & Garfunkel.
In comparison, Simon & Garfunkel is mellow by rock ‘n’ roll standards but back then it was on the blacklist of evil music.
To see the underbelly of music
search on bands that sold their soul to the devil. Or search devil music. You won’t believe the singers and their interviews. John Lennon on that list
who would’ve thought
