If I Be a Poet
Copyright Khaleefa ©2005


If I be a poet
I’d write many a beautiful sonnet
Paint with words a colourful utopian world
And make come to pass every single word

If I be a poet
I’d write about a moment
In time, when hunger is in the past
And in the heart of men, I’d pen
Brotherly love, black, white, yellow all as one

If I be a poet
I’d write praise and devotion
To the Lord who called me to that vocation
I’d seek the gift of persuasion
So I can reach into the heart of man
And quench his flaming obsession
For wanton self destruction
With my perfect verse
I’d pour oil over trouble waters
And with its soothing rhythm silence the guns and mortars
And put world decay into reverse

If I be a poet
I’d write a magical verse
It’s every word erasing hate
And tell the adults it’s not too late
Tell the kids the future is theirs
Show them they can make it better
I’d write tomorrow a letter
