Lyrics

Lyrics?
Yes.
Why?
Why not?

They are real... these lyrics
written by people
real people
they convey messages
why do I obsess over them?
Because they are true to my life
in some aspects
in others,
not so much
those are for me to write down
to turn into lyrics
to turn into songs
to have the world listen
and then
somewhere
have somebody else
think
Were these lyrics written by a person?
Or a machine?
And then they mistake me for a machine
writing lyrics all day
making digital instruments play
making guitar strings vibrate
with robotic hands
to create not a song...
but an .mp3 file
or .wma
or .mpeg4
So many variations of files
just like so many genres
of the actual music
Rock
Pop
Rap
Reggae
Blues
Indie
All so different
still music
all of them- even the crappy ones
like rap
and hip-hop
still rythmical
still music
still lyrical
still real
still convey messages
even if the message is vulgar and rude
still a message
do you choose to believe it?
