Siren

Music blares and we cast our stares
In the direction of its hypnotic beat
The air waves shudder as our hairs
Stand to attention as we tap our feet.
The silence is forced to make way 
For the rhythm of restless instruments 
The sound of music disturbs the day 
Masking the truth of Earth's elements 

Now this music that is filling your head
Used to be knowledge and books instead.

the splitting of the last two lines away from the rest of the piece is masterful.

I seem to be following Keith's trail of comments and agreeing with him. Thought provoking indeed. Thanks for posting. Colin.

Aishah, Poignant indeed. The last two lines are very thought provoking for us all. Thank you for this. Keith
