Poem Title:
Poem
You already know what we are and what we do, But will have a greater appreciation by the time I am through. Though it is been said before, it must be said again To you, who might be a player or might be a fan. To you, who are young. To you, who are old. To you, who are meek. To you, who are bold. To you, who are near. And, to you, who are far. To you, who need to be reminded of who we are. With the words that we speak, we provide the shapeless with form. We replace old quotes with new ones, and make them the norm. We create the images that need to be created. We debate the topics that need to be debated. We endure the pain, as we labor to push out our thoughts. We endure the darkness, where ever enlightenment is sought. We teach the men how to talk to their lovers, So that she knows that there is no one else above her. We are the wonderful, the warm, the witty, and the wise. We captivate your hearts through your ears and your eyes. We are with you, when you are having your quiet time. We relax your soul, with a simple rhyme. We stand next to you, when you are in the crowd; When you want nothing more than to let loose and be loud. We make you dance, because we inspire the song. We live to write, so we can do no wrong. We are not Mathematicians, who only deal in absolutes, Nor are we Politicians, whose words have no roots. We are not Scientist, so our methods do not have to be tested. We are not criminals, so our art form does not have to be arrested. We can not be censored, since we can not be controlled. And, when you take what is ours, we will not be consoled. Our words have heart, and we are proud to show it. We are lovers! We are fighters! WE ARE POETS!
