There Would be people who listen
Poetry being internal rambling
Is a lousy form of activism
It doesn’t really change much
In a world where poetry
Doesn’t get read, actions are not words
Though words may be a kind of
Act, a poem doesn’t start
A revolution, isn’t a political
Act of martyrdom
Though a poet is the best imitator
This art being the easiest to dabble in
The hardest to truly reach excellence
And the most lovely to quote
What’s a good quote without
The sense of magic
That concentration and economy
Unique to good verse
Like a short story compacted
Into a few brilliant lines
It’s contemplation of years soaked
In the seconds of our precision
If a spirit would ever want to be precise
I do not know, though the soul
Might want to love intent
Because you’ve got to find the truth
Within you, and penetrate it
Like having a very intuitive pen pal
Very far away, you have to
Summon her, exchange lives with her.

But poetry does get read, by your fellow poets! ♡
Fellow poets eh, well at least there are other poets left in the world.
The lyrics by Tia Sillers have been a close companion, thank you. 🙂 Truth sometimes reveal itself in the most unexpected ways.
So good … though I have to disagree I think the “ramblings” of “poets” go far in creating a better experience (for those interested). Nice though! So many good phrases, this one among my favorites in this piece: “Because you’ve got to find the truth
Within you, and penetrate it”
