If it wasn't for poetry

“Poetry allows the poet to give vent to rage and despair in words, instead of action.” ~ by poet Oh, you don’t wanna know what it would be like if it wasn't for poetry. Living this life would be unbearable, The false preaching of the pompous priests The false promises of the crooked politicians The false hopes of the cheating charlatans. Whenever I am disillusioned and my heart aches at the wickedness of man, I sit down to write poetry to lessen the pain. Looking at the wretched condition of the downtrodden and the hedonistic lifestyle of the affluent, the pent-up rage in me is ever raring to burst forth and burn the world down… if it wasn’t for poetry!
