Matthew Anish Poet I do not know?

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
