here and now

poet's pen

here and now

it is the poet

who's pen records

the strife so often felt

the ink

that brands the truths

so easily tossed

it is the songs sung

from words written

that speak the horrors 

of war of death

it is the unbridled manner

words paint the pictures

so easily seen

the cries of children

early morn rain

the despair 

the pain

the joys 

the sorrows

of yesterdays 

of tomorrows

of loves lost

the hungers of 

the huddled masses

the uglies of man

beauties of the mind

the death of democracies

the importance

of here and now

such are the recordings of 

the poet
