Kyle Kriticos Poet Rhyme

The Poets

You can tax a mechanic 
On the business he's got 
Till he can't buy his tools
And he closes his shop 

You can hold-up a ship-write 
And be a sailor at sea
But you can't stop a poet 
The poets are free 

If you fine politicians 
Watch the diplomat run
He would start a petition 
With the flick of his tongue

You can't stop an expression
If it's not for the fee
The poets are strong
Because the poets are free

Jslambert Mister Roboto November 9, 2011 at 4:56 AM WE CAN stop everyone. WE outnumber them. Now poets, we are nobodies to the masses. But they need to read up, or get beat up or peed on, with our feet on their beat skeet teat. Ok...I will stop with the Marshall Mather's Maddness! Your 2nd to last line reads "But you C A N stop a poet"---did you mean "can't"? It doesn't matter. Dope poem!

Judy Ball September 27, 2011 at 4:19 PM Yes indeed my friend. The pen is mightier than the sword. It's the same in everything. You might be able to byully someone into fearing you but you can't control what he thinks of you. Your thoughts are always your own. great job here. God Bless, JB

Elizabeth Wesley September 26, 2011 at 10:26 AM Love this Kyle, one for my favs - poets indeed are maybe the salt of the earth for we express so much in our own unique way. Take care dear friend. :)
