The Guitar Player Poem by Raj Arumugam

The Guitar Player



There is the song
the music and the chords
There is the beauty
and the flow and rhythm

But one must eat
and one must live -
and so one must sing
and one must play
as the wind blows



There is feeling
and there is
the genuine touch
and the artist is intense

But one must have coins
and one must anticipate
rainy days -
and so one must sing
and one must play
as the fashion goes
