To Live Without a Poem

To live without a poem Is like life without form, Poetry is my gene Intoxicating me like gin, When my mind becomes ballistic, I pick up my pen to become realistic, I will starve greatly if I don't write daily. I wonder how some are fairing When they live without daily writing, Meditation and perpetual reading. Poetry is a mirror That exposes societal horror To live without a poem Is a life without form.
