The Industry's Revolution Poem by Mark Christmas

Revolution:
Hermeneutics or semantics
what about the language called
poetics?
When asked the question to reason why a chosen word can have a denial
when said ‘I have never heard it before'
I listened and thought
then did deplore
what had been said and what went before.
Do poets write poetry or do they discuss
at a table at lunch, poetics and thus
describe the whole rhythm of creative form
using language quite modern
or an archaic norm
but if not archaic then what shall we call
an anarchic disputing
does it mean much at all?
It surely means something
to the workers who write
in quest for some food and a warm bed at night
to those who've not made it
but wait in the wings
and when supper is called
the little boy sings;
Dutiful melodicism
He sings like the birds
But without his poetics
He can't sing his words.
