we exude perspiration
inscribe messages that last
to give humanity hope.

From the dark unseen wells
the flood of words swell
coated in images that please
seeking for a release;

We wake in the middle of night
our visions to inscribe
express concern for the plight
of the suffering in our sight;

We are mediums of the message
using it to build career
the expression of our tears
our secret longings and fears.

We do not own the words
we do not create the events
we dare to reflect
through this endless pain.

Sacrifice is the poets'" plight
for the downtrodden to fight
struggling for bare survival
hoping to announce arrival.

THE POETS' PLIGHT

Contributed by marsh on Thursday, 1st September 2011 @ 01:28:37 AM in AEST
Topic: poets

From the depth of inspiration
we exude perspiration
inscribe messages that last
to give humanity hope.

From the dark unseen wells
the flood of words swell
coated in images that please
seeking for a release;

We wake in the middle of night
our visions to inscribe
express concern for the plight
of the suffering in our sight;

We are mediums of the message
using it to build career
the expression of our tears
our secret longings and fears.

We do not own the words
we do not create the events
we dare to reflect
through this endless pain.

Sacrifice is the poets'" plight
for the downtrodden to fight
struggling for bare survival
hoping to announce arrival.

Dear respected marsh,

You have poetic skill
Which is now revealed
My mind is now healed
My sorrow is a big nil

Words you have deployed
In a beautiful way really
I enjoyed your write truly
Peace has filled the void.

With best wishes, Thanking you, Yours truly,

mvvenkataraman

You described it as it is. Strong words, right words, true words. You got it -- I dig! -- and I agree with you: a plight it is... Thanks for telling us again what poets must tell themselves again and again and again. How else the strength to fight our inborn plight?

Fine Work!

--Flint
