How Can I Be a Poet
will this society recognize my poetry as art as such?
this society is suffocation
how can i write poetry
when children are being slaughtered?
how can i write poetry
when old people are eating dog food?
how can i write poetry
when girls are being raped?
how can i write poetry
when innocent people every day, are being sacrificed?
how can i be a poet
when you impose rules upon what poetry is and what it is not?
how can i be a poet
when every day on this earth, i think of this day as the last?
