You are Not a Poet If…

You aren’t a poet if you aren’t kind,

If you don’t mind,

When humanity cries loudly,

After innocence is suffocated badly.

 

  You aren’t a poet if you aren’t emotional,

If your heart doesn’t cry for the poor people,

And if you aren’t impartial,

Then you aren’t a poet at all.

 

You aren’t a poet if you don’t respect others,

And don’t write for the betterments,

Of all regardless of the specific classes,

You aren’t a poet if you can’t read faces.

 

You aren’t a poet if you’re selfish,

And greediness drives,

You in every occasion,

Making you a machine.

 

You aren’t a poet if you can’t love,

And go above,

Leaving the ordinary at the rear,

To spread light the world over.
