Poor Poet Fools Poem by Sandra Feldman

Poor Poet Fools



We live happily in the world of rhymes,
Observing, feeling, dreaming,
Thinking that out words can make a difference,
Dress the undressed minds,
With sentiments and poetic flurries,
Images that in time,
Will make life more livable,
Us, less worried,
What fools we really are!
The bloody scurried crimes,
That haunt our past and present,
Are still carried out with violent fury,
'Man's inhumanity to man',
Our poems cannot bury.

'man's inhumanity to man, ' an unforgettable line from the great Robert Burns, for me defines man's whole bloody history.

I agree with Kelly Kurt's fine comment. The poem is up there with the best poems of Sandracita.

A poem may not negate our species' predilection toward inhumanity, but it does provide for a momentary respite in the sanctuary of our silent and thirsty minds. Peace
