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.
