In Praise Of Poetry Poem by Ayandare Mayowa

Our words shape our world
Our worth reflects in our words
Words
The expression of men
Despised and abused by mere men
Never found wanting in the artillery of great men
Death and life in the power of our words
The pen forever stronger than the sword
Words whether written or oral
Its potency transcend the ages
Words wonderfully crafted, beautifully woven and stylishly mingled
Led us to poetry
Poetry
A measure of me-try
Symmetric
Trendy
Friendly
But you need to understand it
Poetry is much more than rhyming
Good timing
Meddling and fiddling with the silver lining
But pursuing and exposing truths embedded in deep findings
It confuses the lazy
Tickles the simple
But enlightens the wise
Mystery to the uninitiated, insight to the carried
Logos to the religious
To the spiritual it is Rhema
Poetry
Beautification of words
A blessing to our world
