Why I Write Poetry
It gives rhyme to reason,
It is as elusive as a dream,
Like the changes of the season,
Poetry isn’t always what it seems.
Like spring is to summer,
And winter is to fall,
It can be a beautiful sunrise,
Or an ugly brawl.
Why I write poetry,
It can be a way to vent,
An escape from reality,
When nothing makes sense.
Upheaval and neutrality,
A soldier going into war,
Conflicting moralities,
Poetry defines what they are.
Why I write poetry,
Is to right a wrong,
For racial equality,
Not for some, but for all.
One voice, one people,
Joined by grace,
Poetry is the rhyme and reason,
Defining the human race.
