The Poets

THE POETS

We are the conscience of the heart; the custodians
of her emotions: conjuring, molding, sculpting and
etching her most sacred feelings upon the canvas 
of time’s times.

We are devoted lexical midwifes;    
delivering depolarized doses of liberated thoughts
from the wombs of metrical pregnant minds.

We are dream catchers of the soul;
unflinching emissaries of truth’s truth;
unafraid to dispel lies and expose hypocritical cries.

We are the mourners and revelries of nations;
standing strong, silently screaming,  
slowly stirring sleeping souls:
We are poets.
