That’s What Poets Are For
We continue to argue
In our back and forth
With what little we have
For all that we’re worth
In this do or die
Of choosing sides
In the right side of wrong
On the wrong side of right
No one round here
Wants to hear the truth anymore
My best guess is
That’s what poets are for
We’ve opened a chasm
Then fell into it
Never learning our lesson
As we’re still arguing
Not really sure why
Because there’s no prize
But when you’re deaf, dumb, and blind
It’s hard to see the signs
No one round here
Wants to hear the truth outright
My best guess is
That’s why poets write
Where’d we get the REF
That is keeping score
I’m really not sure
I want to play anymore
Everything I find
Is a waste of time
If their lips are moving
Then I know I’m not buying
No one round here
Wants to hear the truth being said
That’s what poets are for
Would be my best guess
