[center]If I be a poet I’d write a magical verse It’s every word erasing hate I'd tell the adults it’s not too late And the kids the future is theirs Show them they can make it better I’d write tomorrow a letter [/center] PS Okay folks what do you think, do I have a snowballs chance in , you know where? LOL Seriously though, I'd like to know if anyone finds this any good. Maybe I'd share the rest too. |

@ Jesusfreak Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad you like the poem and it'll be my pleasure to share the rest of it with you.  @ Orikinla *Taking a bow* Thank you sir, you're most kind @iice So glad you like it @ All Ok folks, here is the whole poem: 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 *I also write under the pen name Don Abdul |
