Poets Manifesto

The vision of the nobel heart
should never submit to the
word crushers of sublime dreams~
We poets, we seers of a more
perfect way do subscribe to
a heavenly hope~
We see what can be achieved and
say..why not~
Never mind that the world is
rushing to its destruction
Never mind that evil seems
to be naturally entrenched
into the very psyche and nature
of the course of events~
We dream because the dream is
the hope that a thousand heros
have died for~
We squeeze the truth from every
word as from a fresh yellow lemon,
though sour to the mind it is
sweetened by a yielding heart~
Mountains seem immovable yet we
are not eternally commited to follow
the same laws as do blind rocks~
Sleeping poets must awake to the
call of creations song and contribute
to the lyrics of cosmic wholeness~
In a world of a million chances take
a chance..unearth the ancient dream~
Draw out the deeper meaning of timeless
wounds..and replant paradise in a
despairing world~

A great Russian poet Sergey Yesenin in his "The Poet" dedicated to the poet's divine calling which is living and dying in service of his people says the following:

He is the poet who destroys his foes,
Whose mother is the truth and all its worth,
Whose love for people is to brothers’ love akin,
Who’ll suffer so that people’s cause should win.
He'll easily attend to task and won’t refrain
From doing what the others tried but failed.
He is the people's poet, man of fame,
He is the poet, poet of his native land!

I remembered it when you mentioned "sleeping poets" calling to them to awaken to the creations' song and contribute their lyrics and even life if required.

Thank you for sharing, best wishes! bouquet bouquet bouquet

Hi, cafetwo2010,
We squeeze the truth from every
word as from a fresh yellow lemon,
though sour to the mind it is
sweetened by a yielding heart~


Yes, may the poet's words help
replant paradise in a
despairing world~
