The Unknown Poet

The Unknown Poet

A poem written ages ago
Written but unsigned
Who was the poet?
He hid his identity for history
Why did he write such terrible words?
What was in his mind?
Were they his dreams?
Did he live in such pain?
Reading and rereading his words
You can see into his soul
If only we knew his name
