poetry, poetry
why don't you grow a tree?
then you could contribute
something positive to society
and when you die
it will be tall as can be
for all to see
and you can sleep happy
thinking of your tree
and the good it will bring
with fruit
and shade
and fun and smiles
and they will be so thankful for years to come
but poetry?
poetry rots
poetry sits and the bottom
of your desk, of your trash
poetry creates waste
junk of the heart
so just lead a simple life
a happy life
that is my advice to you
but only you can choose whether to heed it or ignore it
