Poets and Paupers |
| A noble pursuit is the search for truth |
| But it brings little earthly gain |
| And the hatred of those who don’t dare to be different |
| Can freeze the heart with bitter pain |
| A vile pursuit is the search for wealth |
| A status to debase your peers |
| Green flames burn hot to warm egos |
| A rot that grows with the years |
| A lonely pursuit is the search for love |
| Sincerity now so hard to find |
| But to reap this reward should be our goal |
| Forever 'till the ends of time |
| Some do believe greater wealth is in deeds |
| That further the mind, heart, and soul |
| Yet most can’t conceive the true value of self |
| Just a minuscule part of the whole |
| To not blend in with the backdrop of sin |
| Brings on the hate of the masses so cruel |
| Their mediocrity serves to forge the chains |
| That bind us drowning in this stagnant pool |
| Though all of perdition hate the poet |
| And the majority omits the poor |
| Neither can deny our salvation |
| Nor close the perennial door |
| Society’s outcasts are those with the truth |
| Individuals in a world of 'the norm' |
| Shamed into thinking we have no worth |
| And useless since the day we were born |
| They tell me I’ve accomplished naught |
| And sometimes I believe it’s true |
| Yet all of my endeavors are justly spent |
| If with these words I reach you |
