1 | Out of the Darkness into the Light: Poet | Sylvester Murray |
Why I Write Poetry It gives rhyme to reason, It is as elusive as a dream, Like the changes of the season, Poetry isn’t always what it seems. Like spring is to summer, And winter is to fall, It can be a beautiful sunrise, Or an ugly brawl. Why I write poetry, It can be a way to vent, An escape from reality, When nothing makes sense. Upheaval and neutrality, A soldier going into war, Conflicting moralities, Poetry defines what they are. Why I write poetry, Is to right a wrong, For racial equality, Not for some, but for all. One voice, one people, Joined by grace, Poetry is the rhyme and reason, Defining the human race. |
