R. L. Mccallum Poet Rhyme

Poets

Swords are raised and battles fought,
Thus poets live beyond the grave,
For there are warriors that are poets 
Tho’ not to pen a stave. 

There are poets of the battles fought  
Who oppose the advancing horde, 
And these are poets who were warriors 
Tho’ ne’er to swing a sword.

Of swords and quills and battles fought, 
So shall be the poets heard,
But there are poets doomed to silence   
Who shall not resound a word.
