BOB Posted May 1, 2005 They say there’s nothing worse than a poet's curse they ask me what if poetry is indeed a farce that is passed through a mother and daughter like a purse if not so the world would've been full of hearse they claim they're yet to see a widow that is mourning like the early bird that rises before the sun every morning they say we stare at the sky without even turning through poetry they say we curse and commit crime they say we walk free without ever serving time they say poets don't often get the rub of the green they say we sit and talk about our broken dream poets imagine going to fishing and catching bream poets die hoping their words society will glean people hardly understand or respect a poet's message they accuse the poets of failing to find life's passage only poets hurt deeply and cry a genuine tears while society claim it is only a crocodile tears in poets heart we carry our deep rooted fears we toss and turn as sleep is a battle that's fierce poets talk about moments that define history poets foretell those that the world will tell their story in a poets life you have no right to be the judge or jury respect them and you'll be safe from their curse's fury. Peace, Love & Unity. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
