God's Poets & Politicians Poem by Tom Zart

The prize jewels of any nation
Are the philosophers of the heart.
How they think is universal
For its God who makes them so smart.

Most poets tell the truth of life
Though they may wrap it in beauty.
It's their passion, not their purpose
To compose is but their duty.

Poets have no reason to lie
When the truth is always so clear.
All that others say and do
Is but food for the poet's ear.

One merit of a poet's work
Which most cannot deny.
They say more and in fewer words
To illuminate you and I.

God sent His poets down to Earth
With words of wisdom and of worth.
That they might touch the souls of men
And bring them back to Him again.

POLITICIANS

Overrun by war and shameless leaders,
Our world becomes more risky each day.
Dishonest politicians, criminals and the media
Survive by their falsehoods at play.

Candidates who wish to be praised by history
Must earn their fame by living the truth.
Any who mislead, lie and deceive
Must be shunned by the voter at the booth.

Thank Heaven for heroes now and in the past
Who teach us to overcome those who are not.
The wise stay grateful for all God's blessings
Where fools never realize what they've got.
