The Poet

To the readers
A poet may be somebody else
Not necessarily himself
He may have a multiple personality
Ever-changing
He is a beggar 
Begging for attention
He is a philosopher 
Talking of something abstract 
He is a slave 
Following his own conscience
He is a mad man
Yelling at strangers 
He is a messenger of love 
Having too much to care 
He is a lover of nature 
Trying so hard to reveal the secrets
Simetimes he is a loser 
Having only a few people 
Acknowledge him 
At the end of the gamble 
Whether joy or sadness 
A poet continues his styles of living
With confidence
As in the name of truth and justice 
As in the name of God
