A poet's heart is broken,
he now lies bruised and bleeding
on the floor;
scorned by those who were once
charged to love him,
left to mourn the whys forevermore
In a time of madness
when the world at large knows not of
his true worth,
with just the stroke of pen
in gifted hands
a poet's words can heal this troubled Earth
I've opened up my soul
to hear and feel the message
that he sends;
through life's battles and its
disappointments,
dignity and honor will transcend
