Superpoet! Poem by Denis Martindale

He came to save this world from hate,
Injustice, poverty,
Deciding it was not too late
If changed by poetry!
And in disguise, he stirred up love
The world had rarely seen,
In writers who thought words enough,
They had to intervene...

So war was thus declared on war,
Romance was in the air,
With poems written more and more,
So they were everywhere!
The Superpoet prayed unheard
For writers on this Earth,
In hopes that they would spread the word
And prove what love was worth...

So music played its part in this,
Love songs were sung each day,
To help promote the tender kiss,
With marriage on its way...
And children, too, learnt lullabies,
Which parents sang at night,
As if to grant their families
The chance to make things right...

The kings and queens wrote poems, too,
The psalmist shared his muse
And worship was the thing to do
To help God hear your views...
And even God was known to share
On tablets laws to serve,
So everyone could choose to care
And bless the planet Earth!

When Superpoet did his best,
He helped Mankind to see,
That life is like a treasure chest
That's filled with poetry!
For what is love without a song?
Or life without a verse?
Or wisdom teaching right from wrong,
The blessing from the curse?

When Superpoet's work was done,
He left the Earth behind,
To travel far beyond the Sun,
New planets there to find...
We wish him well, God grant success,
Give thanks he helped us know,
The wonders and the happiness
Each poem's meant to show...
