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.

Birds

This chapter ends here
I'm writing the last words
The cage is open finally
And there fly out the birds

Birds of burden
Birds of pain
Birds of doubt
Birds of vain
Birds of denial
Birds of hate
Birds of anger
Birds of trait
Birds of sadness
Birds of ache
Birds of indifference
Birds of mistake

They'd become so much a part
They'd nestled in my heart
But I'm letting them go
Into the infinite skies
I'm letting them go coz
Birds were born to fly
