Purpose of the PoetA Poem by MilesWhat can a man do When the one responsible for him (and his mess) Falls into horror When it discovers that a man can learn a language All by himself And never, in any rational sense, Need to speak it? He must not seek far The information is all around us If the devotion is still head strong But, let's go past the drunkard and the wolf I have true inverse comparisons That will boggle and deframe the mind Preparing it for resurrection You Well, to be honest and not generalizing, Most of you Have been looking For a reason to live Yet, My reason to live Is to find something Once lost Usually, a poet stops When he reaches a conclusion Or a perfect cliffhanger I stop when my back breaks But only shortly I stop when I lose my sight While I find someone to listen and write I stop when I starve And I suddenly begin to imagine That I'm purposefully denying myself nutrition I stop when I lose my mind So I can think "How shall I Poetrize this little scheme?" I stop when I'm gone Not from this Earth But from this Head And the only thing that matters Is if you found the answer
