POVERTY


Where do you aim, o poetry,
If before you calm the heart,
You mistune by complication
Even the most persistent, o poetry…
Once beauty in simplicity was
Naturally written,
Today idioms in memorized
Gibberish entangled,
Seeking dimension.
They struggle, squeal, skip,
Worshipping the illusion,
Not heeding their conscience…
