Music of Darkness: Enigma TNG tribute poem



https://www.youtube.com/user/TheEnigmaTNG




Entrancing melodies fill the ears
Uplifting songs bring the toughest men to tears
Catchy beats gets the youth to dance
Look into his eyes and get put in a trance
Originals and remakes, born from one mind
Variety of music genres, all connected
Interwoven with a central theme

Darkness

The tunes describe darkness in its many forms
Dystopian futures of mechanical gods of human’s creations
Intense, horror-movie moments of creatures waiting in the dark
The wild feel of video game scenes, and brutalities of war
The silent expanse of outer space, stars among consuming blackness

Darkness not just in fantasy
But very prominent in reality
The issues of society, racism, bullying
The harsh consequences of religious extremism
Privileging certain groups over others
Underground sub-cultures of forgotten individuals beneath our noses
Those who long to be recognized, blurred by neon illusions, stabbed by social expectations
The evilness of authority and the everlasting battles in our heads

Creations brought forth by an ordinary person
A musician bathed in black bringing light through sounds
Revealing the ugly truths we try not to see
The raps, the songs, the melodies and synths
Sending similar messages to those willing to listen

Music meant for the next generation
For they have the potential to change the world
But generations don’t exist in the realm of self-expression
Music knows no background, no bias
 Unless it is altered for that very purpose
In the shadows, behind mainstream music scenes
An eclectic artist performs alone
 Using unique creativity

To try and save human morality
