Poetic Power
I believe that the value of a poem lies within the eye of the beholder
Whether you write fact or fiction or maybe a rant about a certain officeholder
It’s the duty of each poet to be true to their own style and follow their heart
Some may deem your work worthy or not worth the powder to blow it apart
Take pride in your work and not what others may think
Write whatever you may feel and trust in the power of the ink
As for me my writing is all over the place depending on how I feel
Somedays are patriotic and some abrasive, but I always try to keep it real
I write to send a message, my style and mine alone
I will always try to be respectful unless you mess with my bone
The bullies know me from the raging in my quill
I’ll always stand up for my friends, no matter how high the bill
