Who Cares About Poets
Who cares about poets?
Even when they turn difficulty into design
Making worlds with words
Shaping destinies with clauses
Taming language with pauses
Moulding life with form
Who cares about us?
Who cares about poets?
Even when they turn ugly into beauty
Defining ashes like they do gold
Unveiling darkness like they do light
Exposing hatred like they do love
Cutting through grief like they do joy
Who cares about us?
Who cares about poets?
Even when they tone out silence into reasonable sound
Bringing the rumble of oceans on paper
Enterpreting sounds of flowers and thirtles
Making mountains laugh and rivers weep
Shuttinng mouths of lions and making ants wail
Who cares about us?
Who cares about poets?
Even when they reveal bleeding hearts without surgery
Fighting wars without guns
Conquering territories without armies
Ruling empires without thrones
Changing the world with only ink
Who cares about us?
Maybe Poetry Soup does!
