Looking back on life to see the change

Looking at the present to see what the future will bring

One question came to my mind

The songs I will find

The songs I will find amusing to me

Those songs with or without a beat

So I ask myself

Witnessing the change

To the day I was born till present

This generation I’m left in

I have a playlist

It’s not the typical playlist

It’s the playlist that changes

From rap to pop

To hip hop to rock

R&B to alternative

Country to absolutely nothing

As the time has change my mind had develop

I started out listening to hip hop

Nothing was going to make me stop

Summertime playing on the radio

To rock the boat on my TV

Then something changed in me

The music wasn’t the same you see

Instead of rappers rapping about unity

Or the issues in the world

We’ve got

Sex money and drugs

Nothing about love

So as the time has change

So did my genres

See my playlist depends on what I’m feeling

My playlist will forever change

Because I’m living

Synopsis: Playlist is a poem about how my views taste in music has change over the years. Growing up as a child I’d listen to a lot of hip hop and rap. It soothed me and it discussed issues that were happening in the world. When hip hop changed I started to lose interest, just it wasn’t amusing to me anymore. I used to listen to Queen Latifa “U.N.I.T.Y” Aaliyah “Rock the Boat” and Will Smith “Summertime”. Since rap music and hip hop music changed to caring and representing violence, money, sex, and drugs, I started listening to other types of music. First it was Paramore, and then it went to Carrie Underwood, to Robin Thicke, to others. Music changed over the years and this poem shows my feelings and experience towards the change.
