Vocal ingenuity
A generous gratuity
I wish could be removed from me
But I would still write poetry
--Which someone else would have to read
As from the page the inkblots plead
"Give us a voice!" the letters said
Without a voice they would be dead
But no-one reads my poetry
And so its voice is left to me
To show the World, or just to try
Be truly heard before I die

But no-one reads my poetry
And so its voice is left to me

Be truly heard before I die
