Every age has its music.
Each generation has its beat.
Keeping time to its movement
Scoring its legacy with its feet.
Hip-hop and rap wax now strong.
Jazz and ballads wane as one.
Love songs are rarely heard.
And Spirituals? There are none.
None is to blame for this verity.
Fewer still are due praise.
Music comes from secret rays
Energizing souls as it plays .
Matter and mystery make music.
The Muses flap rhythmic wings
Beating-out which truths to bring
Bidding selected souls to sing.

MUSIC OF EACH AGE

Jazz and ballads wane as one.
Love songs are rarely heard.

None is to blame for this verity.
Fewer still are due praise.
