IcerocketIs this enough
Is seventy years enough
Or seven thousand
Or seven million
Is annilhilation of our Individuality inevitable
Are we once and no more
Is truth conceivable facing annilhilation
Annilhilation and oblivion consume
Stifling hope
Narrowing vision
And the result
Now gratification
Immediate grasping
Unemotional, vain, empty
Pouring the empty into the Void...
Unless Hope be true

Who says what poetry is?
— Nov 26, 2010
I think I can relate:
Literary Award
What words need be spoken?
To inspire the intellectual soul
To say something different
That is profound and yet unknown
Perspective is the concern
The author’s experience less so
For observations made on an issue
To uninitiated minds and what they learn
Centuries of prose and text
Color the human experience
Who decides that which is important?
That which is to be discerned or left behind?
To challenge the orthodoxy of the institutions
That guides the written word
Is tantamount to literary treason
To be labeled ignorant and absurd
Prizes and awards are given
To acknowledge the best of the best
But for what purpose is this decision?
When it discounts and disregards the rest
The truth to the written word’s importance
To promulgate the experience of man
Is not for the choosing of mortal minds
But through history, how well it stands.

According to this

Poetry (from the Latin poeta, a poet) is a form of literary art in which language is used for its aesthetic and evocative qualities in addition to, or in lieu of, its apparent meaning.
