    HEARING IS A BRAIN FUNCTION

    Our human brains process wide ranges of auditory sounds,

    We have human limits surpassed by both fish and animals!

    Within our heads are a pair of cochlear so very delicately,

    These provide us with the sense of hearing very delightfully!

    Two ears, provide capacities to locate sounds directionally,

    We have capacities to detect the source almost automatically!

    Permits organisms with two ears to sense reverberation locally,

    Horses and dogs cock their heard to locate sounds very precisely!

    These dual cochlear are crucial for sensing our environment,

    Not only to hear our human species plus also many more!

    Each species produces unique sounds for danger and mating!

    Can have unequalled influence upon the overall human race!

    This phenomenon is understood by most people inter-culturally,

    Even without understanding unique words of humans verbally.

    Scientists study the unique musical calls of diverse species,

    Members in a special species discriminate their waves musically!

    Sound waves intersect with our sense capacities artistically,

    Renewing our human quest for vitality and uplifting spirituality!

    While we in the Western World appreciate Amazing Grace,

    We hope that all cultures have equivalent voice of every race.

    While violent strife may be occurring in different localities,

    There are many surprises how peace is stimulated musically.

    Music has the sound waves we are given from Heaven!

    We may value these beautiful waves we are given!

    Now we enjoy melodies and symphonies that we hear;

    Music lifts us upward so that we value the atmosphere.

    Music bridges humanity to engage in
