Poets

Poets are prophets of fire 
They build the meaning in the dry leaves of morning 
For meaning‘s got the taste of amber  
In the eyes of the early dew 
Poets are broken bridges to where 
A crowd of words fills the gap of water
Yesterday, a poem invaded my night
Speechless were my soldiers in the middle of the dream field 
Just behind the shoulders of the enemy 
My bare hands could do no good 
To pick up a lost headline 
« The world is over!! »
It is the new age when 
Google shall have no gifts 
For those who help their children 
Get their homely made poems
In words that have to mean anything  
Because it is time for poetry to beget answers at last 
Don’t worry Google! 
That was only a piece of homework on how to write an original lie
About absurdity in the human mind
