The Marriage of Words & Music: (The Birth of Poetry) _ new poetry Dec2025

The Marriage of Words & Music: (The Birth of Poetry)

Music without words are called instrumentals. While words without music, is called poetry (though when composed may be to a melody of sorts, a rhythm, a beat, a tempo, frequency,but for the reader, they don't hear that music the author of the poem did). and then there is he who was a Minnesota North Star. He must've heard music in his head while composing poetry. and knowing that the audience when reading poetry doesn't hear music, blew their minds with guitar & harmonica. It actually became electric and the recordings had players like hitmen that learned to smoke grass at their Long Island & then Nashville country clubs. Those albums stir awakening. Dreams of The Marriage of Words and Music: the birth of Bob Dylan. The albums should have those 80's U.S. Vice President's Wife's parental labeling for 2025: Warning! These songs may make you woke. Sincerely, Woody Guthrie's emissary, Moss on a Rock in Running Water; Bubbles.

Mary Cries for Her Son Jesus: (Empathetic Agony) _ new poetry Dec2025

Mary Cries for Her Son Jesus: (Empathetic Agony)

Delivered to the judgement hall

Crowned with thorns taken to place of the skull

"Crucify him!" They violently shouted to Pilate

"I find no fault with this man," so why debate 

Are you woke?! "We have no king but Ceaser

And aren't you Ceaser's friend? Don't free him!

We want Barabus! Put this Jesus to his end!"

Jesus taught, acted, led by example of truth 

Pointing out blatant hypocrisy of those uncouth 

Raised the dead, broke bread, healed the blind

Saw all was fed, blessed the head, divinely kind

Speaking truth to power they needed him dead 

Given vinegar to drink, "it is finished," Jesus said 

Empathetic agony Mary had for her woke son 

People didn't care, in fact, they glad it was done 

For their bloodthirsty lust it was real good fun 

For their day it was free cable with reality tv 

Where cruelty is the point for the powers to be
