When He Said Poets Poem by Francis Duggan

When he said poets as ever in the few
He told me something i already knew
Insightful wisdom poets with others do share
It is a pity indeed that they are so rare
Without poets the Human World to live in would be worse off indeed
Their insightful wisdom humanity does need
And we should credit them the credit they are due
Since to compassion and empathy they remain true
Poets as ever are quite rare he said to me
With him on that i could not disagree
In poets goodness is never hard to find
Compassion lives in the poetic mind
We need a lot more poets he said to me
With him on that i only could agree.
