Poets Of Integrity

What are poets but pure Independent spirits.

They do not follow as meek subservient lambs,

But lead with words inside sword point potentials,

Not for warfare, but for the welfare of the masses.

A poet is a Declaration of Independence stand,

Wherein each poet stands tall with a unique persona

Poets of stature standing elevated as fortitude statues

Like the Statue of Liberty holding the Flame of Truth.

Each poet is a page that torques uni-que vocabulary

That twists down terse trails in intertwining meanings

Branching beyond the trunk to never truncate leaves

Into pruned conformed programmed predemined edges

Poets are the wild wind adrift unshackled minds

Cerebral currents that swirls - twirls writing the sky lights.

They peer beyond limitation to seer with intuitive insight

Spreading wings that pages the rhyme in sailing free verse.

Poetry is not singularity master pieces, in follow the leaders.

Each poet must be troubadour histrionic theater stage sages.

 Profound Philosopher Poets who explorer the Uni-Verse of man

Sharing the heart of woman upon the womb of cradled humanity.
