Poetry’s a soldier
a collection of Spoken Words in Silent Wars
rarely do you see it pull back
retreat
it is no coward
it’s weapons are raw
yet healing
but there is pain
hidden behind the curve of personifications,
alliterations
and similes there is sorrow
if poetry has one weakness it is this:
that most won’t understand what they think they know
for many, poetry’s just a quick fix for that euphoric feeling
like good sex coming from your words
but poetry is wise
and it knows those who will never conceive
in order to give birth to a revolution….
