Fear The Poet! Poem by Uwakwe Uchechkwu

Fear the poet...
'cause he'll make the papers bleed

Fear the poet...
'cause these words take their place on the hills
and create a pathway to the mountain tops

Fear the poet...
'cause he is a cat with infinite lives

Fear the poet...
'cause there're no barricades here on
this world to hold him back

Fear the poet...
'cause he'll walk to the minds of many

Fear the poet...
'cause he paints on the walls of the mind
Just as a painter paints on canvass

Fear the poet...
'cause he creates worlds

Fear the poet...
'cause he'll travel to the future.
He may die today
but he'll rise tomorrow

Fear the poet...
'cause he travels on the wings
of time

Fear the poet...
For who he is
He has survived the worst
And he will survive the worst to come
