Persistence Furthers

There are I'm sure people who will tell you to stop I'm also sure you will persist in your literary efforts Some may say its only poetry but we know different - don't we friends? Poetry can change a life It can even change societies You might not achieve fame until after you are gone Poetry is for the ages People may be reading you in a couple of millennia Sobering thought After we disappear our poems may very well bring a smile to people who love the genre

Yes, Matt, it is so terrible how some animals are mistreated. Let me see your poem now.

Poetry is leaving our mark on immortality, dear friend Matthew! A very didactic and much needed message! Thank you for sharing! God bless you!

People used to tell me that I couldn't, but I always ended up proving them wrong. I will not give up on poetry as long as others are enjoying it. If I can make someone happy, then I can smile, too.... I love the thought provoking message you are sending to all of us. A wonderful poem, Matthew!
