A Poet Never Dies

Rating: 5.0


by all the good
you throw at him
he grows at a pace

by
all the bad
you throw to him
he grows
faster than any fantasy
faster that any thought
faster than any imagination
faster that any life

because
his mind is programed
to take the bad
and convert them to excellency
swear with vulgar to a poet
and to him
it is the first thing to pen down

it is the first verse to reflect
you can not kill him
you can not remove him
because!
because!
because
a poet never dies

outstanding........a poet never dies........ha has got a eternal life in all the verses through his thoughts! by all the bad you throw to him he grows faster than any fantasy faster that any thought faster than any imagination faster that any life because his mind is programed to take the bad and convert them to excellency swear with vulgar to a poet and to him it is the first thing to pen down these lines, which simply read the poet's attitude are more figuratively choosing the situations by which a poet is bound to take birth! all the frustration he splashes to philosophy, all the vulgarity to truth which some things in life we dont wanna see or overlook or never bother. when believing thiis time we live is true, happenings are true, truth is in hand with time and happenings, poet has pen in one hand truth in another hand.......kill him....he never dies
