Lazy Dreamer

They say…
keep your day job

young poets.

For we get robbed
of our acclaim
to the name.

Stand UP
for your rights,
don’t let reject
reflect upon you.

They say that poets
are only lazy dreamers
with too much time
on their hands.

They say that
the only celebrity
that a poet can be
is a downward gliding
tragedy—
just waiting to happen

A special art
created from the heart;
let no man
come      between
a poet
and a dream.

Where would this world be 
without dreamers like me.-:
a forest of stumped trees
cut off at the knees
with no means of
evolution.

Poets are the gray
in black and white;
they are the entity
that sheds the light;
they are the pretenders/the storytellers
that lay you to sleep at night.

So dream on
young poets,
dream your
lazy dreams.
For without you
there is no
