Another meta poem...

A Poem by C Peril
"

about being a poet

"
You need a life to write about life
And you need money to live a life 
For that money you must work 
And the working takes your life

I see no other way for a poet to be... 
but a bandit, a robber, 
free 

Hungry, hopeful, 
living in a quandary 

No expectations, 
stolen exaltations 

Perhaps siphoning out 
the beauty from the abandoned 
refuse of a society which
refuses to acknowledge the sacred
splendour of everything
