A Song..To Whom Does It Belong Poem by Samanyan Lakshminarayanan

A Song..To Whom Does It Belong

Rating: 5.0


a song
to whom does it belong
once it is born, , , and stays alive for so long

the poet has done his bit
he has put his heart and soul
to give the song a soul

the musician has done his bit
he has put his work and mind
to give the song a form

the singer has done his bit
he has put his voice to emote
to give the song a life

whose song is it now...to whom does it belong

the song has become a bird
it goes around the world
it is by itself..a persona

it goes on to live for long

[the indian film songs..at least a few go on to live for long
i tried to say how itis made and how it stays]

the poet, the musician and the singer are the 3 characters of this piece...i agree with dr. hitesh, all glory belongs to GOD..so in connection with this question(to whom the song belong?) maybe the song belongs to whom it is dedicated..very clever writes..this is beautiful naizz

All great songs contain truth, love, and beauty. These three things bestow eternal life upon them. As such, they belong to those things. A wonderful question. A fine presentation for future discussions. GW62

the poet is not his own.. nor is the music or singer.. they are all but gifts to be shared with the world...
