DEATH OF THE POET

DEATH OF THE POET

Death of the poet
Whether early or late
In battle or in bed
Accidental or self inflicted
Carries his ultimately fatal price.

Death of a poet
Is the freedom of swindles
And the fate to downtrodden
For poet is a sacrificial victimized
Blood is his smiling death warrant!

The poet's preference
Wears in warm slippers
And dwells in pickled onions
Racing to the cricket and scores
Personal disaster to marvelous write!
