The Poet

As He Turned
As He Returned
As He Wondered
As We Pondered

Fate of Humanity
The Hate of Insanity
A People Not Free
A Voice With A Plea

An Illusion, A Mirage
Hope, Did Not Sabotage
A Dream Unseen
Man, Yet To Redeem

A People, No Voice
A Soul, Hath No Choice
A Poet That Cried
A People’s Pride

His Word Was Spoken
His Heart Long Broken
People Dared Dream
Staring At, A Silent Stream

Departed, But Not Parted
A Voice That Started
The Silent Sound
Poetry, His Final Shroud
