I'm weary of poets
Trying to make wonderous
Things that were
exactly that
long before they understood it
Do not liken love
to a summers day
or Hope to
a featherd thing
living fraily in cage and rain
Do not liken
Let them be!
Let Fathers
be Fathers
Mother's the like
A smile
IS
sunlight on the water
Kind words
spoke falsely
DO
lead men to murder
The more you strive to understand
the less you truly know
a hundred hundred years
spent trying to solve
the riddle of spinning into words
the universally understood
and un-relate-able
simple complexity
that is the world
Rain
Is
Crystal Rainbows
Stinging Needles
Smashing Torrents of sorrow and rage
and the forgiving heat of embrace
Let a Son
Be a Son
and a sister the like
That that is is.
That that is not, is not.
That that is not, is that that is.
That is understood
That it can't be understood
So why still have we poets?
Let Leaders
Be Leaders
a neighbor the like
let the deviant among them be known
and act according to the life he's sown.
I grow weary
of men dying
yet living long afterwords
of in-nobel actions
showing great nobility
Enlightened Stupidity
a retelling and re-interpretation
of martyrs
and fools
who were just that.
'Just' justly acknowledging the ignorance
we took as a reaction to things before their time
Let them be
what they be.
Let Man
Be as Man has claimed he is
claim what he is capable of
and take the next step
Let poets struggle
to be overdone
out done
by the simple Majesty they try to relate
Let no man be an island
even if he can see a distant shore
But let me be
simply BE
so much
and little more
I'm weary of poets
and simply wish they have gratitude
that even if unwritten
unread
or unheard
their words reach
disrupt
and put in place
unrealised love for simple complex things
I am weary of Poets
not knowing they are Poets
even with the simplest
un-rhyming words
