"Axes" On Board…
Spread the word, trumpet you gourd!
Let us carry our axes on board!
We play to live, this is our pay!
Let our axes make brighter day!
Let music heal, our axes don’t kill,
Please legislate a “Mo’ Better” Bill!
So we can travel, minus the fear
Of being parted with from what we hold dear
“Axe” is just slang, “horns”, or strings…
World would be safer, if everyone sings!
“Kill” can be slang too, like “burning lick”,
Check it out, call this a schtick!
I don’t care, just let us fly,
And carry our axes on board to the sky,
They are no luggage, thrown and lost!
Treasured like limbs, prized beyond cost!
No two are the same, like DNA,
Most musicians earn low pay,
Lucky to work, yet blessed to dream,
Why make them beg, plead, cry, or scream!?!?!
TSA, Airlines, greed, power play!!! --
Please legislate a “Mo’ Better” Way!
If need be, OK, I will play you a song,
If that’s what it takes to right the wrong!
