Poetry is Reality
Nowadays, poetry can be seen as this
A sweet song, a love note about roses
A rap about getting the desires of the world
Or part of the hip hop culture to get people to start bouncing and grooving
But yet, no one ever knew that poetry has more power than that
In my conscious, I see poetry as prophecies
To speak life to people who need help the most
And to paint the yellow brick road to truth and greatness to home sweet home
That is one of the main roles for people’s future and revelations
Even a fortuneteller or a psychic can’t tell one how to reach their final destination
“In your future, it is grave” and that is their statement
Not telling you how to avoid it. Just pay them their alms and be on your way
Not knowing if today is your last day
But poetry is reality to give them reproof and instructions
For a brighter future and how to correct mistakes that the human race makes
For poetry is also chronicles to mentor and empower the King’s children
To withstand and take pleasure in righteousness
But that is not the only thing I see poetry as
Poetry is like a Spirit
Holy and acceptable and given to those who need to endure another trial
To give everlasting love and peace to those who are struggling
To tell poets of the present to speak out so the laments of the past will cease their suffering
For poetry is more than a talent, it’s a powerful gift for reality
For all to see what is going on in the world
Though poetry is used for entertainment, horrors and fantasies
Being part of literature; not a legend or a myth
These roles are man-made; artificially and passively given
But the divine role of poetry for reality is to create the pros
Of the joy of life and the reasons of why we must fight
As to why Poetry is not for the carnal and fleshly minded but for the spiritual delighted
Poetry is in the tongue
But be careful not to use it as though it is a gun
For it is meant to give life in conviction and improvement
To create the words to have patterns and rhythms for everyone to relate with
For everyone to come together as though they are joined as they are sisters and brethren
For who knew that it can bring those of different backgrounds and occupations into groups
For all to come for understanding, peace and relaxation?
Those are the roles that I personally see with poetry
For there are times through poetry that I can look behind the common and simple
Deep wisdom that are more than often overlooked
Hiding behind an invisible temple filled with knowledge
Waiting to smile down on me and everyone else
To know that Poetry is more than a world rap, more than a love song; it is reality
