Writers and Poets

Writers and poets are a different breed They live and breathe phrases and concepts Awash with all manner of clever speech At engaging the reader, they're adept They invite you on travels to distant lands To discover strange customs and beliefs To experience a whole new world apart The Rain Forests, The Great Barrier Reef Through the eyes of these intrepid travellers We witness different morals and rituals Experiences people wouldn't normally view Many of which, are sacred and spiritual Imagine if we didn't have these literary giants To warn us of the mistakes of the past The Great Depression, the two World Wars How great nations through history never last Writers and poets are a different breed They focus on the ethereal side of being Flying high above the horizons In a world of unknown and unseeing
