Music
by Charles Jay

There's a rhythm in my heart and it can't be silenced
The answer to violence is not violence
Saxophone blown entire fifths of memory into my history
And melodic tones under my bones got me feeling vibes of good times
in pastimes huts and villages
Unforeseen dreams still carried in my Amerikan jeans
Freedom keeps ringin my bell
Drums from African kingdoms got me under a spell
Well, well, so well, drowning away in the abyss
I never knew freedom tasted like this
Wishes of active notes Blues and jazz
Carried over on ancestors boats
I swim in consecutive passages
In songs that dance in unison with trombone sounds
That move grounds, passionately shouting down profound
Don't that synchronized harmonized
Get u hypnotized every time
The way words whistle under midnight moons
Underground pound has got me severly consumed
This free song can clutch desires if you wish
