Is a powerful commentary on the world's misplaced priorities and the potential for positive change if we reconsider our values and actions.

In the following post, I'm sharing the work I've been doing with the platform udio.com, where I'm musicalizing each of the 175 sonnets from my father's collection in various ways. As a musician, I understand that AI can replace us in many aspects of life, but musicalizing my father's sonnets with the help of AI helps me convey his words in different ways that can be achieved through music.

Sonnet 13 by Francisco Luis Arroyave Tabares

We know

10 We know that a small part of the money (A)
10 The world uses for its wars without aim (B)
10 Could be used to bathe with milk and honey (A)
10 Humanoid ghosts that walk on a bones frame. (B)

10 We know that a little understanding (C)

10 For those who need the church to follow God (D)
10 Would yield room to those already standing (C)
10 On these rich lands today covered with blood. (D)

10 We know that without so much selfishness (E)
10 Or wealthy people each day more alone (F)
10 There would be more blooming of happiness (E)
10 And their face would glow with an angel's tone. (F)

10 If we know for sure that something is wrong (G)
10 Let us retreat some steps and fare along. (G)

that double their population every so often and do
not do enough to regulate their population because
they are impeded by their beliefs.
