In a world of oppression and despair,
The Goddess of Music stands tall and fair.
Her voice, a melody of defiance,
A song of dignity.

She sings with power and grace,
Despite the material poverty she faces,
Her spirit remains strong in all spaces.

The notes that flow from her lips,
Carry a message that forever grips.
For artists will always find a way,
To rise above the darkness and decay.

Through the power of sound,
Their souls will forever be unbound.
In a world of intolerance and greed,
The music will be all they'll need.

So listen closely to her song,
And know that you too belong.
To the tribe of musical souls,
Who find strength in their roles.

Acknowledgements

In the realm of music, a voice like thunder,
Carrying melodies that rend hearts asunder.
Carolyn Joy, the powerful soprano queen,
Brings beauty to the track in every note.

Her operatic note soaring high, without flaw.
But beneath the power, a vulnerability lies,
A voice that can evoke both joy and cries.

Compassion guides her in all that she does,
Pouring out her heart without any pause.

Through the highs and lows, the joy and sorrow,
Carolyn Joy sings for a better tomorrow.
In her voice, we find solace and release,
A beauty that transcends mere peace.

Modern economic systems

trap us into believing that

happiness is never in the now

but, always somewhere

far, far away in the future!

They create hallucinations,

make false declarations ,

create fake narrations,

and lead us

to needless temptation!

They hijack our ‘bliss’

and displace us from the present moment!

They make us into robots

to move along their dots!

So we’re basically designed to obey

to stay on their programmed pathways!

This is a song of defiance, sung by the Goddess of Music herself, an opera singer, who shows us that artists will eventually win spiritually, even if they are materially poor, because they have the power of Sound.

Despite the oppression and inequity outside, the lack of dignity and basic needs afforded to artists, by the political economy outside, the singer maintains deep sense of dignity, and while not reacting emotionally to the injustice, presents the power of music – tenderness, happiness and joy, and feelings that the musical tribespeople have in common, which the other participants of a materialist political economy (especially a class of people who spend time measuring this and that and collecting things) may not have.
