Cheap Thrills
Skill with ya hands
Will slowly disappear
Craftsmen and trades
No longer be here
Cheap imports have taken their toll
Loss of jobs.. shed of tear
Can`t be blamed for saving a buck
Replace ..not repair
Bottom line the sole requirement
Quality and craftmanship
Relegated to history
That`s just the way it goes
Don`t have to look far everyone knows
We are all guilty of this demise
easybeat, yep pretty much what is happening in the world today in most countries, understandable but has a cost to people, families, jobs etc. Many of those who are skilled in their trade are replaced by more efficient machinery etc................... i hope those valued skilled people never fade away completely.
Good poem, makes one think and reflect ......
That is a great piece on todays throw away society and craft skills now relegated to history.
I dont want to hear songs writen by computers.
I dont want a computerised love.
I want real human love.
Love of a real person.
The rest of life has been overtaken by cheap and thats all we can affford.
First it was cheap labour overseas that took our jobs.
Now it is technology objects created by passionless machines.
Peatle & Jan
Glad u liked this poem.
I`m not very keen on it myself.All that rhyming cheapens
the real sentiment.
This is quite different from my first write.
But hey, Chordians like a good rhyme.
EB I have used your poem Cheap Thrills and put it up as a song on soundcloud. Hope I have done it ok. soundcloud.com/eatleville/cheap-thrills
Interesting take on it Peatle, well done. It wouldn`t let me comment on Sound Cloud for some reason
Thank you Jandle my vocals need a bit of work.but hopefully each new song I attempt is differant from the ones I have done before. I appreciate the way you consistantly take time to have a listen to what people put up and offer a comment. EB has good thought provoking words, he has a wonderful way of making good statements without over doing things.
