A poet is not perfect* although some claim to be Scribblers of thought watchers of humanity Pen every emotion fill it with devotion Ride waves of passion chaotic like the ocean A poet is not perfect with more than eyes we see What's hidden what lies between prophecy Future unfolding the past we keep holding Now keeps rolling do you remember where you're going? A poet is not perfect hmm what does this mean? From life experience write a scene Words forever blending combinations never ending Translation of thought keeps the message sending A poet is not perfect neither is humanity Speakers of truth live on edge of sanity Recognize what's broken book wide open Read between lines multiply the hoping A poet is not perfect many strive to be Most fall victim to vanity Born reactive to what's attractive Division of emotions leave most subtracted A poet is not perfect or what you might think One universal mind flowing in sync Discovering depth waking from sleep Breaking silence with words perfect poetry we speak
