I Never Knew

I never knew I would write a poem that is wealthy and white on a pad that is plain and powerful amidst the poets that are bold and beautiful. Now, I have got more passion to pen poems that will thrill…rank among top ten. So, I will write until fishes start to fear water and babies start to breastfeed mighty mothers. I will write until goats can chase lousy lions, until plastics will start to bend ingot irons, I will write until Satan is ready to repent, and all land owners quits receiving rent. I will write until, kids starts to claim crowns, until an ant becomes the talk of the town, I will write until, farmers start to harvest from the sky, until all men starts to hail the God and stop to lie.
