pressing buttons

what the fuck
ever happened
to the soulful guitarists?

and musicians that feel

broken-hearted men
with fingers to place words
as notes; to chords
and sing

now there’s too many illiterates
pressing buttons
making sounds
who haven’t even learned of heart
just downloaded the samples
looking the part

am i one of these?
or one of those?
we ought to stick to our guns
let singers sing
and fumblers fumb.

too many illiterates
pressing buttons
making sounds

that’s all they are
