Three Of The Human Soul Foods Poem by Francis Duggan

They go rather well with moderate consumption of beer
Music, dance and song go well with laughter and cheer
And though sometimes sad songs and music can give rise to tears
The soul foods of humanity have been evolving for years
Music, song and dance on them do not have a use by date
They are always present where people remember and celebrate
They can stir up the memories of what used to be
Three of the human soul foods with an old history
The decades go by and times are changing fast
But the old music, songs and dances of the distant past
Passed down through generations are living today
They live on in time and refuse to fade away
As the soul foods of humanity they do remain
They stir the emotions of the human brain.
