What subject could the poet understand? <br />From God such an answer I demand! <br />Plunged on this isthmus to look for light? <br />Or only to observe humanities spite! <br />Why of the poet is eternity asked? <br />Forever in servitude, In the muses grasp! <br />Why isn't the writer cursed with such woes? <br />Living his existence only in prose! <br />What is asked of the stoic’s side? <br />Only to maintain his damnable pride! <br />What does the faithful find inside? <br />With his convictions seldom tried! <br />Does the poet find in others truth? <br />He is merely remarking on mankind's youth! <br />Is the poet to observe the world's machinations? <br />The search for God has greater expectations! <br />Where is the place the poet sculpts his art? <br />Only in the clay of the passionate heart! <br />So, what subject could the poet understand? <br />All the Devine, to a grain of sand! <br /> <br />© S.E.S<br /><br />Sara Stowell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/question-answer/
