Harmony

Have you looked a t a piano?

The keys are black and some white.

You can play a song in black or white

But when you play both you are playing it right.

A melody in black sounds good

A song in white does too.

But the blending of both

Is the way you should learn to do.

The scales are a combination of the two

And each has a distinct sound.

When played as the music is written

The melody is profound.

The color of the key does not matter

The color is only to help identify.

Its place on the keyboard,

And thus help clarify.

If color is removed from a key

And its contribution accepted.

People would know to make music

No key can really be rejected.

People are no different from a keyboard

Color has no place in life.

Each person can contribute to harmony

And eliminate the world of strife.
