Metal (Culture) Is Many Things: A Poem

Metal (Culture) is Many Things

It is the breaths between words.

It is a sculpture that each person adds to

as they encounter it.

It is an incomplete song

that grows with each new part.

It is a tapestry

weaved by the weary hands

of many generations.

It is a large mosaic of individual lives,

screaming together for those still hurting.

It is a blend of sounds that touches you

so profoundly that once it is in your life,

it is a part of you, forever and always.

It is the small moments

that make us human.

It is us, the people.

It is our pain, our sadness.

It is the things we will never forget.

Metal is the people.
