Pay Poets

Please pay poets
Poetry pays
pay all the poets,
Pay all of them
Pay for Poetry
See it grow
See it glow
Bring on the show
They need your support
If ever you never want them stop
Please pay poets, all of them.

Poets recite
Poets sweat
But who get the sweet?
A Poet for hire
But who gets higher?
Please pay poets
Pay all of them
Pay poetry
Don't let it become history
see it blossom
Not at the bottom
see poetry feed
Not the greed
Please pay poets,
Pay all of them.

Poetry is not charity
Please pay the poets.
Poetry is not free
Pay the poets, set them free
Let them get heard and seen
Let them think not to shrink
Let them fly and never sink
Pay them, pay poets, pay all.
