True Poets Poem by Howard Kern

I give homage to the twinkling poetic stars of the Middle-East.
Politically ran road of perdition is counterproductive.
Poets must relate, and express things to the earth.
No matter if they are very bad things, or very good things.

I believe the true poets’ of this earth will not back down!
They will charge hell with a pail of words, quenching hell’s heat.
A Poet wills rhythm to a beat with words that are strong.
The poets’ rhyme creates a truculent message well heard…

Someday in the future poets must come together,
Bringing a unified cohesive message that is large as life.
A positive static solidarity of humans willing to stand for truth…

So, I give thanks to all the twinkling points of light,
In the speckled blanket of black we are all a part of…
