Truely Feel

My name is Alfred Ernest Pate Sr. the 2nd .  I am a Hybrid (since I can claim 3 of the 5 working titles in Asia) born in Asia (1955) at a time when the Hybrids were the main stay of civilization is Asia. I was born in the city of poets (in those days, not any more) Hyderabad, Sindhi, Pakistan. In fact the country I live in (Pakistan) is the perceptions of a poet (Allama Iqbal).
 
A poet is born with an insight that in not given to ordinary people. It is a direct gift from God. Ordinary people have to study, to get an insight to selected segments of this world. There are 3, three levels in real poetry. First, the physical (emotional) level. Second the soul (cultural)level and the Third the Spiritual (conceptual) level. 

We (the poets) are the “the jump gates into hyper space”
Men are evolving, proverbs says "that as iron sharpens iron, so humans sharpen humans. This is called evolution. It is happening with all of us, but Poets are given the visions that give mankind a jump start. This is indeed a great privilege, but it comes with a greater responsibility and bears an even greater penalty if one doesn't do the best with talent and resources given.

 
Real poetry will touch the core (a caress) of your heart or slap you (an awaking) or strike you like a bolt of lighting (awareness)
