No High Five Jive

Men profess to be lovers of music, but for the most part they give no evidence in their opinions and lives that they have heard it - Thoreau

i often think

if everyone carried jimi's kind of machine gun

there'd be less violence in this messed up world

they don't take no bullets

don't kill no lives

only liftin' spirits,

talkin' no jive

smackin' higher than high fives

Author's Note

"Music is the sound of the universal laws promulgated. It is the only assured tone. There are in it such strains as far surpass any man's faith in the loftiness of his destiny. Things are to be learned which it will be worth the while to learn." - Thoreau
