AS A POET

As a poet
when there's
no more words to say
it feels like you're going insane
frustrated i mean to say

as a poet,when there's,
no more words to say
on an unfulfilled ocean
you automatically set sail

as a poet
when there's no more words
to say
what else grants your bail
from an unimaginative prison?

as a poet
unable to reason
i think you've committed,
a poetic treason
and should be charged
for not being a faithful citizen

of this great country
call poetry

as a poet
when there's no more
words to say
amongst fellow citizens
at that point you no longer,
have a say
whether it persists from day to day

but just remember
you've been wired to say
on an ocean of words
your ship'd set sail

as a poet
when you're short of words
indeed your soul is stuck
inbetween neighbouring
prose walls
which might lead to,
pro-literary wars
that's not all

as a poet
when there's no more,
words to say
you look bardly frail
and you can't hold onto
your poetic brail.
