Are You Fooling Yourself, Poet?
Sitting down with
pen and paper in hand
Let the machinery of
your mind and spirit
create a world in which
you(and hopefully others) can
exsist in peace
Will you be creating great art?
Storming the barricades of the past?
Or are you fooling yourself, poet?
Let the doubts leave
you for a moment
Lost in a swirl
of creative energy causing
A smile returns to your face
Are you fooling yourself, poet?
Well, just take joy in
the moment
As lightning jumps from your
mind onto paper
Let the critics say what
they will
A new piece of art
has emerged
As you contemplate
the growing darkness
You have struck a blow
for the forces
of Eternity
