Poetry Is a Legacy

Poetry for Mankind is a Legacy As no one I know writes poetry In the hope of making money But rather just to share a care To encourage and to make aware The reason we are all here So those that follow us then can see We only write our poetry To leave behind a legacy Well that is what works for me I do hope though my words will be strong Long after I have gone To hopefully help the next generation along As its their time to sing the song To write their own poetry In the hope that mankind and nature Can once again get along DAMO x

Hello Damian … the only poets and artists that are worth fortunes have long since passed away. They never get to see the true value of their work that lives on through time, however, they had a great love for their trade - thank you Damian - Lindsay

Thankyou Lindsay for looking and commenting .. I totally agree with you... I think that was my point and why I write poetry.. it's not for gain.. but just to leave a legacy of words that others can follow in the hope it helps them.. all the very best my friend.. DAMO... x
