I Want To Write a Great Poem

i want to write a great poem i want to illustrate despair i want to illustrate terror i want to illustrate regret i want to illustrate remorse i want to illustrate rage i wan to illustrate ecstasy i want to write like william carlos williams and brilliantly describe the eloquent simplicity of a wagon i want to use brilliant imagery i want to document the historical greatness of this era but the immense burden of this time has made my body weary so i write this poem not a great poem not a bad poem but a good poem and once again tell the world that I hope that what i write can help to some day bring about vindication so decent people won’t have to go through what i did and feel what i’ve felt and fully use their talents for the betterment of humanity i don’t know i want to turn frowns into smiles i want a world where one day people won’t be scared children will be fed love will be the law peace among all nations and peoples will prevail and everyone is an artist so i don’t know maybe my future socialist twin will be able to write that great poem for me so here’s to you, my brother may you ride, ride strong and high and may victorious humanity be your horse.
