Power To the Poet

Power to the poet, power to the muse
power to those who dont refuse
to show their emotions under the sun
    say it and sing it , a victory won
 Power to truths that must be told
    handed down from bards of olde
gifts of syllables crafted right
    hanging oer your head tonight
waking you up to write them down
    filled with fury and eider down
write that its okay to cry, to grieve for 
those who had to die
    To tell them they may hold the light
for others passing in the night
    Power to the poet wracked with pain
who tells us all to try again
    Power to the child inside the man
who wrote it down and said " I CAN "
    Power to God who gives us the choice
to lift our heads and raise our voice.
