Poetry is about the heavens above us
It's about the arguments between us
That we try to let go
It's about the business men
And business women
It's about the house parties we throw as teens
And regret when we're adults
It's about the sirens in the streets
The secrets that we keep
It's about looking to the sky and seeing beyond the blues
It's taking our 4 senses
And creating something we can use
It's about the poor houses with their families in pain
It's about the rich houses
That have nothing more to gain
We never notice the chirping of the birds
Or the winds or the trees or the yellowing grass
We're all too busy
Pretending that the earth will somehow last
It's sitting in the car
With your mind on stand still
Observing the world
For its organic pill
Poetry is
Feeling your surrounding
Poetry is
Learning grounding
