God and the Poet

that God

and The Poet

are

so often

at ODDS

is no surprise

at least not to me

you see

to Be a Poet

a REAL one

mind you

not some ass

looking for a couple of

words

that happen

to rhyme

NO

to be a real Poet

is to be

God

or a little god

at least

it is to be a

CREATOR

of worlds and dreams

a generator of

love and hate

laughter and tears

of human weakness

and heroic strength

but like that

most beautiful angel

fallen long ago

we are not

Him

at best poor plagiarizers

of His creation

and somehow

that

pisses us off
