'Rhythmatic Mobility' by Ana Hagins

The rhythmatic mobility

With the spitting of words

Was once an immaculate

Thought, but as the generations

Go by these treasures to society

Begin to lose their worth.

They no longer have meaning.

At a point in time flow was

A gift for the elected

But now in present times

Anything goes. They hardly

Use talent anymore,

But instead they synchronize a

Noise and call it music.

The simple bobbing has now become shaking,

Gyrating and all types of vibrating

As if they have no type of control over

Their body. There is no talent in that.

What happened to the time when

Music was made to help build humanity

But instead it fills the

Ears of the young

With all sorts of vanity

Like money, cars, and clothes.

Music is power.

So what will become of us

If we use it to devour

Those who take heed to

What is said? At a point in

Time people couldn’t live without

It but now it brings no benefit to man.

There have always been rebels to the

Way things use to be, but now they

Run the music community as the artists

From human history begin

To die out. Who will take their place?

For I have yet to see in

This day and age any one capable

Of reaching their standards. But they aren’t

Trying because we live in a time

When people settle for the worse

Even though it use to be better.

So what do we make of it?

What do we make of those few

Who have potential, but let it

sit in vain?

Music is power.

So what will become of us if

Musicians no longer shower our

Ears with words of healing?

Instead they use explicit lyrics

With reveling content,

A talent that’s so far bent

Out of shape that it’s no

Longer recognizable. Beats

Always had the strength

To create images, but now

Their beats are just pornography

Written in words.

Music is powerful

When there is something to sing

About. But cats these days

Are too content.

So they forgot how to use it.
