A Poem

A poem is not an effort by a tight-lipped genius Gripped by the setting failure's fears, Or the penning of those furious about defeat, Who are not under the grip of it; It's the flower of a gracious soul unseen, An idyllic utopia that has never been; The splendor of a life unperceived, And the thought of faiths unbelieved!
