hymn
A hymn is a piece of music intended to exalt a deity yet often echoes meaninglessly in empty pews. Its worn pages proclaim eternity, but outside the chapel, they gather dust as forgotten text. The majestic melodies masquerade at times as a cover-up for an organ badly out of tune. Despite praising unity in worship, singers strain to project their own voice rather than listen to their neighbors. When the service ends, the once-glorious chorus is reduced to mere sheets of paper resting silently on a shelf.
