A World without poetry

A world without poetry, Is not for me. A world without poetry, Would have no place in it for me. A world without poetry, Is something that would make hope hard for me. A world without poetry, Would suck the joy out of me. Thankfully I live in a world that has poetry, For me, Thankfully I live in a world that has poetry, For more than just me, Thankfully I live in a world that has poetry, For the generations that will come after me. Thankfully I live in a world that has poetry, That will not die with me. In a world where poetry still has a place, At more than just my place, The future of the Human Race, Is one race, For a bet I must place.
