Purpose of the Poet

Purpose of the Poet

A Poem by Miles

What 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
