The Essence of a Man

What type of writer forgets the titles of 
His own POEMS?
A man who knows nothing or
A man who knows everything?
A writer who has a thousand thoughts 
At a time in RHYME?

A writer mid way through a seemingly 
Pleasant  poem says never mind.
What type of  POET  is this? 
A person who jeopardizes his rights
For a single verse and  places a curse 
On the worse.

Who can say matter of  factually that
It's actually how it aught to be. 
Exactly.
Who shall behold my GRACE so that 
If I sneeze within these APPROACHING
seconds  he can restart my stricken 
Heart.

These FLURRY of words can only be 
Accomplished by an immortal. Let us
Make way for him through the crowd.
Granted that he should bestow a 
Grand  BLESSING to save another.
He shall take a person wanting on all
Fours  and place him at the beginning 
Of the pantry line a mile long.

What is the ESSENCE of that man?
He can HALT a war by mere words.
He is a poet that can bring a sea of
People to a DESSERT and have them 
Pray for rain.  Then make it so.

What is the ESSENCE, what is the
Origin of SUCH a  MAN?
