Seedy Bars

Inspired by Julianza Shavin's poem, "Resound". My poem is from 2007. Thanks, Juilanza.

Songs, words and a tune from a toke

they have no meaning, they're another joke

perversions from thin white lines

casting out doubts on others and their times

songwriters picking their guitars

on stage in some cheap, seedy bars

their minds are now mostly toast

while they dream of money and boast

will your daughter be their next host

another plastic child gone bust with lust

songs, words and a tune from a toke

they have no mening, they're another joke

perversions from thin white lines

keep your sons and daughters home tonight

love and protect them from the neon lights

keep them away from all of the songwriters

picking their electric guitars, in seedy bars

songs, words and a tune from a toke

they have no meaning, they're another joke

perversions from thin white lines

"It's such a fine line, I hate to see it go".
Jackson Brown.
It's been the ruin of many a poor boy, and girl.
If these things were all legal it would take away some of the alure.
But don't get me started on that. There is too much money involved, and you know what money can do to the weak, greedy lawmakers.

Jon,
excellent point of view and a strong stance, and not at all sermonizing because your fine technique and the choice of repetition/variation towards the end raises it above the pulpit. I like this very much.
