Quit Poetry For Good. Poem by RIC BASTASA
Quit Poetry For Good.
THE POET FROM OSLOB
with poetry how can he
survive
these harsh times
when prices for gas, water
and electricity are always
on the rise?
how can he feed his two
kids and a wife with
no work?
his is not the
suffering of the thespian
whom he says
is on
pseudo-suffering
like a soap opera
or that serial on
tv every day where crying
is non-stop and
slapping is
forever
the latest from him is that
now he is in manila
applying for a construction
job in Dubai
and hence has quit
poetry for good.

Hard labor could earned money for subsistence... that a poet can do, but poetry is innate talent of expressing valued sentiments...that not every executive can do! Whether or not a poet has money, he knows what he is capable of.... freedom of expression! Thought provoking, very realistic!
