Poets' Onus - Double Rictameter





Poets

Have a mission

To raise the consciousness

Of the indifferent masses,

And beat the drums for those that cannot beat

They have to bring to memory

Greatness-, and ring the bell

Because they are

poets.






Poets

Must come to grips

With issues of their day,

And to being maligned,,-

Create a legacy for the Unsung,

Ready and willing to accept

Scorn, abuse and insults,

If they be true

poets.
