Feel The Music (Half A Penny)

Shaunmatthewcpoetry

 

I've had so many formats
Cassette tapes, CDs and mp3s
Now mainly use Spotify for my music needs
Almost everything on it
But they still warrant
Criticism for not paying the artist right
Mos Def said they pay half a penny a stream
How completely obscene
Apple pay half a pence more
A full penny, wow!
How are so many great artists going poor?
Spotify CEO
Daniel Ek
Seem like a bit of a dick
Can't pay artists the correct money 
Keeps stealing all the cream
But he wants to buy Arsenal football team
The rich, greedy and mean
All seem to go hand in hand 
Things will change
If enough artists say no and demand

    It appears to have started with profit margins in the so-called "Dark Ages," 'one a penny two a penny hot cross buns!'

    I am on Amazon Prime for my music streaming.
