Music Brings Us Together Poem by Buddy Bee Anthony

Through rivers of time,
man has asked the question
why everything must corrode, fall apart,
erupt, decompose in an endless cycle of life and death.
great and powerful dynasty's have toppled, civilizations, disbursed, , died off, ripped from the pages of the book of life.
Music and art has remained. while cities, dogma, and most beliefs, die out, burn to the ground, or are forgotten.,
Music has been at times engaged to, even betrothed to religion
while other music have asked hard questions of religion, or appeared to be openly adversarial to it.

Music and song celebrates,
what we feel as sentient beings
a part of, not apart from the natural world,
Music has been rituals,
and have been used as a tool
music is employed
when we're being blessed by holy men, ,
music is a force of nature
Art is at
the left hand of The Father.

Humanity, having come down from the trees
to hunt, and gather,
traversed far and wide to
the next jungle.
now, , as long ago.
Along with our grief and our triumphs
their has been music.
Music to ease the pain of those who suffer..
Music is the heartbeat of peace, creation
and the drums of war and destruction.
when blood was spilled there was music.
when new blood was birthed
there's been music

craftsmen, holy men, inventors,
and women,
magicians, grifters, carpetbaggers, or visionaries,
for service or sacrifice
Music has been the tapestry
to commemorate events
that have mattered to us..
Art is the great equalizer.
A symphony
fresh air to breathe.
the medicinal elixor, needed to recover
our collective sanity
Music seduces
it soothes.. Reminding us
God made man
so we could make music
Music knows no boundaries, .
It arouses lovers
as well and stone cold killers
Music is the glue
binding the entire human family together.
