"Melting Pot"

Sharps and flats, majors and minors, suspended and opens

tossed gently into a bowl;

to be creatively mixed.

Some are discordant, like the bashing and banging of pots and

pans.

Some are melodious, like angelic creatures sweetly singing "Ave Maria."

The unique combination can create diverse sounds--

like Mozart juxtaposed with "Rappers Delight."

Some are tranquil and soothing, while others are

bombastic and annoying.

They can come in many different languages

and

They are melted together in the hustling, bustling cities;

creating the eclecticism of America.

And,

are often misunderstood by the ignorant.

But,

when together,

MUSIC is created.
