Words set to music
reach a loftier plane
than naked words
alone
Melody lifting
what’s spoken or sung
to where only
— it can go
(Dreamsleep: January, 2026)
'Seal Creed'
Let the other guy
die for his country ...
I’m living for mine
Let the other guy
waddle in shame ...
in glory I cry
Let the other guy
sanction defeat ...
in victory I thrive
Let the other guy
rot in his grave ...
eternal I strive
(For Will: January, 2026)

I have always thought the same. Poetry in song is very powerful touching all parts of the body and soul
A hearty Amen!
Too bad that most songwriters bow to the popular dollar not the value of the soul
I watched a you-tube of James Taylor where he stressed that his career had a few setbacks because he refused to compromise with the commercial interests.
