Music is a balm

Bertrand Russell fought his late loneliness

By listening to Beethoven’s music.

Somerset Maugham learnt to play violin

To tide over his old age loneliness

The brain tends to relate to the cadence

Of music as proven in Neurobiology.

Music played or heard by the people old

Gives a sense of bonhomie and relief.

Children with brain young are quite quarrelsome.

The old with brain worn, too are quarrelsome.

Music as lullaby soothes the child’s brain.

Music as ballad soothes old one’s brain.

To the orphanage and the old age home

Provide music sets to kill the boredom.

To beggars and all the public places

Be their mild music to sedate the air.
