Music II

How odd it seems

That an organized series of sounds

Can sound so pleasant to the ear

So incredible that it brings people together

That it creates love and peace

That it saves lives

That is,

Until you think of how Life treats us

Throws people that do not love us

Throws people that kill

And hurt

And betray

And use us

Throws them right at us

Then Music seems like a warm embrace

Music seems to whisper,

"You are safe with me"

That is important

In our world of discord

An organized series of sounds,

That is what music is

But it's also so much more
