A Bard's Life

A  Bard of life is what I be,  
spinning words into verse some call poetry.  
Not just any words will do, 
the stories I tell are usually true.
 
Drought, Wind, High Seas and Rain, 
all cause humanity great pain. 
Facts of the matter are what I seek; 
I mold them into art, for all eternity.
 
Sometimes man must kill himself, 
adding land, seas and people to his wealth. 
That to I must put onto verse, 
tales of death and destruction, 
makes it a burden, even a curse.
 
During times of peace and tranquility, 
I take a break from the absolute, 
and explore faith and family. 
Angels and demons, heaven and earth, 
love of the heart make for such beautiful verse. 

A Bard Of life is what I be, 
And what I write is for all to read.

    I like it a lot! Maybe you should try and form the verses into 4 or 5. Beautifully presented idea though! :)
