A Poet's Stand

Artist paint thier pictures on canvas',
musician paint their pictures on music,
But poets paint their pictures on words.
Poets aren't as recognized 
as actors or singers
but poets have the strongest voices
out there.
Most people don't care
what others have to say,
but poets are the true authors of life.
I'm truly sorry if you can't see,
that poets are out there,
and one of them is me.

J. F. K. understood that poetry was extremly important here is what he said..."poetry as the means of saving power from itself. When power leads men towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses."... so keep writing! great poem by the way!...~Luke
