THE POET
April 12, 1992 2 a.m.
Poem by Ben Dunk.
THE POET
The poet kings a life of passion
And renders reason from strife
Sees all extant possibilities
And gathers in all the ripe time
Not of this life alone his version
The poet wanders at will every graph
Forward and reverse in time and skies
And communicates in any mime
When the frugal dark days fashion
Cruel people with their tools rife
The poet reports truth from lies
And puts it succinctly into rhyme
The poet sits on a hill to lash-on
Pseudo signs of political life
Applauds the heros many tries
And honours stoics with scripts sublime
Woe to the very anti person
Who persecutes the poet with a knife
For powerful verse sets the dies
And destroys the essence of their prime
