when a poet is not true
when a poet is not true
to him no benefit shall accrue
so may I say
without further delay
on this day
which is not of may
a poet of rhymes
is a poet of crimes
his message is lost
to them who cheer most
the audience moves with the rhythm
but the audience cannot be redeemed
a lie is furthered
when the truth is murdered
those who play to the gallery
condemn art into mockery
so may I say
without further delay
on this day
which is not of may
a poet of rhymes
is a poet of crimes
those who live for the stage
shall be condemned into a cage
and their bright lights
will not burn through the nights
poets not adorned with medals
shall leave with no scandals
unfillable would be their sandals
those who live for fame
shall leave with no name
they shall spring from the womb
straight into the tomb
the words must glow
so the notes wont stoop low
it does not add spice
to be nice
mouthful of rice
when there is so much public lice
too many Macarena
have danced in this poetic arena
when the truth is not told
the centre cannot hold
so may I say
without further delay
on this day
which is not of may
a poet of rhymes
is a poet of crimes
who must elicit cries…
