The Essence of a Man

What type of writer forgets the titles of His own POEMS? A man who knows nothing or A man who knows everything? A writer who has a thousand thoughts At a time in RHYME? A writer mid way through a seemingly Pleasant poem says never mind. What type of POET is this? A person who jeopardizes his rights For a single verse and places a curse On the worse. Who can say matter of factually that It's actually how it aught to be. Exactly. Who shall behold my GRACE so that If I sneeze within these APPROACHING seconds he can restart my stricken Heart. These FLURRY of words can only be Accomplished by an immortal. Let us Make way for him through the crowd. Granted that he should bestow a Grand BLESSING to save another. He shall take a person wanting on all Fours and place him at the beginning Of the pantry line a mile long. What is the ESSENCE of that man? He can HALT a war by mere words. He is a poet that can bring a sea of People to a DESSERT and have them Pray for rain. Then make it so. What is the ESSENCE, what is the Origin of SUCH a MAN?
