Famous poems written by Matt Starking
POETS DON'T DIE
Poets don't die
They live forever
Words don't die
They last forever
I will live and die a poet
a profession I will never reject
A decision I will never regret
For it's a dream
I had in a dream
That all the material life
Will past away
The flesh and the body will also decay
And all the riches left behind
For there's nothing to pay
Like the fallen and dried leafs
which the air blows away
It your judgement day
And what do you have to say
But Like a spell
Which rings in your ears a bell
My words are forever here to stay
For Poets don't die
They live forever
Words don't die
They last forever
LIFE'S NOT FAIR
life favors the rich
and despises the poor
but if life's for all
then why not share
the bread equal
A FARMER
I am a farmer
I am a farmer
an intellectual farmer
the pen is my tool
always in my hand
and my book is the land
my words are the seeds I sow
the intelligence I cultivate
is the fruits which satisfy many people
even from generation to generation
I am a farmer
an intellectual farmer
I WAS HERE TOO
as the day sweeps away
for the nights to come
the clouds gathers
for the rain to fall
being here is by natures call
thou have come
because it your time
so stand tall
the earth get shaken
rules get broken
forget your foes
and stand on your toes
for I was here too
and still here with you
THESE WORDS ARE MINE
these words are mine
they are well refined
sweeter than wine
take these and
you will be fine
they are purified
purer than water
they are valuable
valuable than silver
very precious
they are forever
these words are mine
hope you accept them
and you will shine
