Take all writing with a pinch of salt; especially this one |
| The Poet .. by Edward Driach He was different. He knew that in the womb. He thought the thoughts That others dare not think Or could not Would not Should not. He was different. That is why he wondered How he’d got there How was he leaving Where would he be born How would he die If he died He was different. As his mother screamed him free His eyes always asking What is out here? In the sky Over the sea Over the land He was different. He saw the beauty of nature The ugliness of man That others did not see He’d write it Plan it Rhyme it He was different. As he wrote it down He couldn’t understand That others could not see Did not heed Or feel the need To be freed, by his pen He was different. As he went back home They all said so Those who could not see Lied When they cried As THE POET died |
