Make poets

Tuesday,23rd February 2021

 

Make poets no god

creator or lord

let him remain a human being

a simple character to bring some changes

 

he can take you nowhere

remove your fears

or pain to bear

but can address you as dear

 

he knows his duties well

and tells

openly in verses

make misses but amend in time

 

nobody is perfect

but don't react

or overreact

when fact becomes known

 

in the coolness, you gain

in the rage, you get pain

a poet can teach you to remain calm

and prevent the harm

 

what has he in the store?

a simple way to adore

tedious way to explore

with no response, all the times to feel sore

 

but he has a divine gift

with enough will power to shift

from anguish, pain and outrage

and come out from the cage

 

A holy bird

with sacred words

almost used in the praise of lord

nothing to hide and nothing to see but look forward
