Music: Our Beast Of Burden
If Only I Could Rap Like Eminem
I'm a generational time traveler
following the rhythm and the base
Worn a path from 1970 to current 2024
letting music pull me back to places
I think I've visited before
Different vibes and different faces
keeping me connected to the underscore
Revisiting my childhood stages
strolling memories with McCarney and Wings
Hitting a concert with my children
singin' anything that Hozier sings
The Doobie Brothers and Steve Miller
Hall and Oates and Don Mclean
Finger Eleven, Zac Brown and Weezer
Ambassadors and Townsend Band
The Monkeys singing, I'm a believer
or Beetles, I wanna hold your hand
there is no time to name them all
but if you want to travel too
just tune in on the radio dial
and let the music help you move

Flags flew freely in the summer breeze. They consisted of a gray and white human brain against a black background. Scales of gold sat just overtop the image of the organ. The sun rose at just the zenith and shared its light and warmth with the attendees to one of the country-states’ greatest accomplishments: the graduation of two women who had been in a halfway house and found their passions for art design and communications. Mala and Sheltham looked on with sunglasses and cheered the graduates. With the knowledge they had months to go before being up on that stage, they looked at each other and grinned. After the ceremony, they walked into a pizza restaurant that fit their budgets.

Oooo, this was so awesome! Loved your poem!
How true are your words in this one.
This is great. Seems we have a lot of same tastes in music.
My path goes a bit farther back, but this is definitely relateable!
Ha! My car radio is tuned to classic rock right now! Love it and your poem.
The 70s is my primary era for music. But like you I like music from all eras. I even go back to as early as the 1920s up to the current day. Thank you for sharing this fun romp through music.
Great work though 👏 Love it
A lot of those in my collection, but I am listening to "Prometheus" by Carl Orff, which is quite strange but I will get through it I am sure. Great poem
