The Great Library of Alexandria Poetry and Its Many Forms and Differing Meaning
Poetry and Words
Comes in so many a different form
All depends and depending on who
it is written by
What the particular subject or topic
is
And what it's initial and final intentions
are and maybe
It can rhyme sometimes on the other hand
it maybe simplistic and therefore funny
Poetic license can also be used as
an excuse so as to justify a means
to an end and littered with untruths
It can both be used to rally and rile
the the dog's of war
And also keep dark suicidal thoughts
away from entering ones mind's eye
Speak of lyrics to be sung in sweet
harmony despite and across even
breaks the language barrier
Be used to describe nature in all of it
life's ethereal beautiful such as flowers
and rainbow infused sunny summer
showers
Recited to and by lovers everywhere
each and every day all around the know
world
Written as eulogies and etched on
tombstones in order to pay homage
or tribute to those recently now dead
Tattooed used in many different types
and opposing art forms
Some say mightier more powerful
and cutting than the sword
Either way one thing above all else
is for sure
Is that where and when it is used
correctly and in the right way and
for the greater good of man
It can not nor may be ever undone
Once upon it has been written down
recorded and then so heard
It will withstand whatsoever barrier
and test over time places in it's way or
path and triumph in the end
Even those who rage against it choose
and wish try to wipe and erase it from
human history
And although they will most definitely try
they will also not succeed
As it doesn't matter if you burn them
or choose to destroy them like
The Great Library of Alexandria
Otherwise how on earth till today would
we all still know that they existed at all
And that in summation is the inherit power
of the written word and poetry has
And why it is still used up and until this
very day in ohh so many differing
Clever ,witty , funny , interesting , intelligent
unique , loving , hateful , vengeful , harmful
alarming , disarming , positive , elevating
lyrical , satirical , obscure , obscene
condescending , demeaning , sarcastic
& trolling ways
All depend and is solely dependent and
based upon what that individual in particular
author
Be and so wishes and chooses to write
about in the first place
Be that individual particular author in
question either a she or he
