If this is what is required?
To be considered
Taken seriously
Then so be it
Preacher
Or am I at fault?
Are you my teacher?
And I am a defiant student ?
Devoid of prudence ?
Ignoring the letter of the law?
To take or be a part of?
I am a simple uneducated common knave
Who wishes merely to exchange
But blessed without the knowledge to engage
Is destined to be dismissed
For though my muses resonate
It is neither for your pallet or plate
As sadly you are the keeper of the gate
The status quo
Of partition
Which pacifies admission
To the top table
Of cultured earshot
And so I write each day every night
In search of the work that may just might
Pray upon a soul less deserving
That replies upon an inner stirring
A troubled heart earns
A second reading
