what if i dont sell a copy?
what if the people think that i am crazy?
what i can't pass a message?
what if i can't inspire courage?

what if i cant write a line?
what if my lines don't rhyme?
what if i loos inspiration?
what if i can't inspire the nation?

what if the government bans writting?
what if the people can't view my hand writting?
what if the government puts me in cell?
what if my poem don't sell?

what if the crowd don't cheer?
what if i get silenced in my fear?
what if my poem is meaningless?
what if it becomes worthless?

I am a poet
A poet is like a prophet
A poet is like a preacher
A pooet is like a teacher

Cheer for the poet
Applaud for the poet
A poet is a thinker
A poet is a healer

A poet is a story teller
A Poet is a best seller
A poet is a motivator
A poet is a mentor

Poetry is me and i am poetry
I do poetry like chemistry
I play poetry like politics
I solve poetry like mathematics

Poetry is my nature
Poetry is my culture
I spread my voice to the world
Let my voice heal the world
