A Stranger among Strangers

A stranger among strangers,  
when the poet stands apart,  
He poses a threat to the future.  
You were here; I was there,  
healing the world with our prayers and lyrics.  
This is no mere nightmare.  
the world that shuns a poet  
sends them into oblivion—  
just another forgotten poem.  

Each new poet carries a powerful idea.  
Poetry and artistry converge in every hidden word.  
Faded poems curl like a half-moon,  
fading, fading, and disappearing far too soon.
