Napster Revolt
thou shalt do
as thou art told.
and music is a relic
dusty and old
on the shelf
between leather-bound
law books.
take it to the river
and make your own
island
out of vinyl and tape
piled low
in the ocean
with feet overhead.
only the good stuff
ferments - still intoxicating
then the trash floats
to the surface
and kills the buzz
that was happiness
and rome falls
and roads lead to nowhere
and utopia is dead.
again.
and if i were a rockstar
i'd give it all out for free
because life is too short
for controversy
over what makes us happy.
