Poetry In Motion: Rhythm of Life
A Lyrical Poem
If your life was music
What style would it be
Would it be jazz
Rock or Pop
Rhythm and Blues
Or Hip-Hop
Would it reverberate Punk
Rap or an alternative Funk
Feel the rhythm of your life
What instruments are playing
What songs are swaying you
Back and forth
Keeping you still
Holding you close
Mine would be jazz
It has that certain class
It’s the kind of music that lasts
It pumps me up
It settles me down
It has that special kind of something
That pleases the not so obvious crowd
Since my life encounters confusion
I sometimes like jazz with a little fusion
There’s no judgment as to which beat is best
Because rhythmizing beings is no contest
It doesn’t matter if your lifestyle is pop, rock, or blues
Because the rhythm of life
Doesn’t care who’s who.
