Kerouac Lives - 271 Poem by Richard Wlodarski

Kerouac Lives - 271

Rating: 5.0

They're not poets...
No words from heart
Where is their soul?
You want me to...
Compromise me?
I'd rather go
To goddamned hell!

It is a suffering of an artists to pour there souls into their work only for those that lack any warmth to try and kill their fire. The critic and the cynic are realities executioners

Richard is a soft-spoken poet, as far as I understand from his poems on this site. But here, he does not hold his words back. A bit strong words. But true. Good to see him forthright. Top score
