We Need Poems for Today

We need some poems for today:

Make it rhyme or do not rhyme

But please make it shine

The inner I of mine

In need of some poems of today!

There are some who still say:

We’ve got poetry everywhere!

That’s fine, but where’s the other man

Who said a thing not so great

Maybe he’s dead…

But he surely said:

Poetry is like sex, well rap is just like fap…

But maybe he’s dead…

But someone surely said.

We need some poems for today

Creative, contemplative, imaginative, illuminative

Truth-telling, soul digging, path showing, boutinspiring

Epoch explaining, manufacturing, reflecting

Creative, contemplative, imaginative, illuminative.

But maybe we’ve reached too far

‘Cause there’s some who still say:

We’ve got amusement in our eyes every day and everywhere…

Poems have had their day we’ve now got replacements in a lot of ways…

That’s fine, but where’s the other man

Who said a thing not so great

Maybe he’s dead

But he surely said:

To hell with your illumination, this is the age of darkness

Maybe he’s alive

But someone surely sighed!
