The Poems That Never Get Read

The poems that never get read.
Sitting in some pile of papers on the desk.
They just didn't have it to go anywhere.
Though they hold the stories of lovers and haters.
Big men and little men.
Winners and losers.
Beauty and the beast!
The World, what a place!
The tales of great drama called the human condition.
From the past and the future and the...
all encompassing present!

This work perfectly captures the melancholy and ironic power of neglected works. Well done.
