others may have wine, i have poetry

We don't read and write poetry because it's cute.

We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race.

And the human race is filled with passion.

And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life.

But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.

a diamond in the dust

I met a man yesterday
one unlike I've met before
he didn't look extaordinary
but he was an inspiration galore
a man who spoke from his heart
and got me to think
a man who held my attention rapt
woah..I didn't even blink
in this world so mundane
I met a soulful man
in this crazy game we play
I met a man who was still sane
A man without the usual airs
A ray of truth in this world of liars
a man who didn't let his brain rust
yes I met "a diamond in the dust"
