A Poet's Need
Poetic flesh transparent to the bone
heart on a sleeve, emotions on display
they find a world that has much to atone.
Verbal skills and persuasiveness to hone,
arguments to champion, minds to sway,
poetic flesh transparent to the bone.
Eliciting bright laughter; anguished moan,
a message of humanity to say
phrases that may find his ears alone.
Humanity can have a heart of stone
much selfishness and cruelty on display
poetic flesh transparent to the bone.
Seeds of homespun sanity to be sown
solutions verbalized in his own way
phrases that may find his ears alone.
Of speakers there are plenty time has shown
and listening's a skill that's gone astray
phrases that may find his ears alone,
poetic flesh transparent to the bone.
