My Poetry For farmers toiling fertile land Working hours with calloused hand Overcoming adversity Providing for humanity For you — I write my poetry. For those who live in our small towns Surviving seasons of greens or browns Fires, floods, a droughts consistency Moving on from natures cruelty For you — I write my poetry. For city dwellers who like bright lights Traffic, smog, historic sights Laneways housing increasing needy Hawkers, scammers and bankers greedy For you — I write my poetry. For many young soldiers who gave their lives Leaving behind family and wives Thousands have died so needlessly Enjoying our freedom, because of your bravery For you — I write my poetry. For those elected to seats of power Playing politics hour after hour Forgetting people amongst bureaucracy Voters remember your accountability For you — I write my poetry. For our learned scholars of highest reverence Teaching the young literary ebullience Some forget the power of simplicity In rhyming stories and all their beauty For you — I write my poetry With smiles or tears of total contentment And feelings of unwavering commitment The scribe pens lines so diligently One understands the written complexity For me — I write my poetry.
