I am a Poet

I am a poet.
I know, i know, i know:
What is a poet?
A manipulator
Of words, of reality
Of opinion, of truth?
The artist of human creation?
The scholar of sound?

What is a poet?
Society's unraveller.
Treading the line
Between menace and martyr
Searching all the while
For who they really are

What is a poet?
The one who'll say what you won't
Who causes a stir
Who warms and chills and shapes this earth
Remembered,
Until their words become archeology's play
