Ethics and Songwriting (The Sonnet) | Amantes Assemble
I wish I could write music,
For one song is worth ten sonnets.
One sonnet is worth ten essays,
One essay is worth ten speeches.
That’s why I have respect for those,
Singers who do their own writing.
While I pity the empty entertainers,
Who do nothing but counterfeiting.
It’s okay if you sing someone’s song,
At least make way for equal recognition.
Exploiting talent ’cause they’re struggling,
Is fundamentally a human rights violation.
Every industry lacks ethics in its story of origin.
It’s time we right the wrongs and get humanizing.
