Prophecy on music
"a voice was heard shouting in the studio";
hear me,all ye fans of music!
The sudden death of songs draws near!
These are signs to show it;
high songs wanned-out,
magic-drums-of-old sold out,
streams of pleasure fading,
genocide of the music rate (in the early 90s),
ancient lyres misplaced,
high lives and old school buried,
music archives in extinct,
preserved sacrosants defied,
powerful heritage lost,
rhythmic pipers stolen,
dance floors revolutioned,
birds melody imprisoned,
African guitars reformed,
mourning dirges turned to enchanted rhymes,
group singers splitting,
poems taking the lead,
and stadia,made a competition field;
all! Marking the end of music,
and a new invention of business
