What I Am

Becoming a poet is not a miracle It takes a mind that thinks analytical An artist uses words as material Thinking satirical as well as political Theological as well as philosophical Touching the lyrical Reach for the pinnacal And make people dream Don't call me cynical Just because I'm a poet My words are empyracal And I let people know it With hypotheticals I allow men to dream It's inconcievable What a little hope brings With raw talent And some help from my muse I seize a radical Cure for abuse Take a sabbatical And put a pen to good use
