The Mind Of Poets Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

Poets have nothing to hide
Not because they are full of lies
Or because they are well groomed
But because they are the voice of consciousness

Poets are explorers of consciousness
Unveiling the hidden worlds deep within our minds/hearts
Extracting the bad and the good out our existence
Exposing the beauty of life
As well as the ugliness of life

Poets are a treasure to society
Openly discussing the hidden realities of our daily living
Sometimes displaying the hidden madness beneath our "normal" lives
Overtly describing some of our deepest feelings

Poets are not afraid to explore the furthest points of consciousness
Putting their own sanity at risk
In their quest to illuminate the Truth
And disclose the truth about life

The mind of poets is not hospitalized in the current reality
Nor bound by the current definition of madness
The mind of poets is a supernatural entity
Obsessed with the supernatural stuff called consciousness
