The prize jewels of any nation <br />Are the philosophers of the heart. <br />How they think is universal, <br />For it’s God who makes them so smart. <br /> <br />Most poets tell the truth of life, <br />Though they may wrap it in beauty. <br />It's their passion, not their purpose; <br />To compose is but their duty. <br /> <br />Poets have no reason to lie <br />When the truth is always so clear. <br />All that others say and do <br />Is but food for the poet's ear. <br /> <br />One merit of a poet's work, <br />Which most people cannot deny, <br />They say more and in fewer words <br />To illuminate you and I. <br /> <br />God sent his poets down to earth <br />With words of wisdom and of worth, <br />That they might touch the souls of sin <br />And bring them back to Him again. <br /> <br />God has always had his poets, <br />Who he watches with love from space. <br />But Satan has his poets too, <br />Who try to lead us from our grace. <br /> <br />King Solomon was a poet, <br />Who spoke of love, life, death, and war. <br />That lips were like threads of scarlet, <br />And that breasts were roses and more. <br /> <br />The wild birds sing and flowers bloom, <br />As clouds form figures in the sky. <br />But only humans will write poems, <br />That shall last long after they die. <br /> <br />The eldest sister of all arts, <br />Which some have called the devils wine. <br />Poetry is but pure passion, <br />To stimulate the heart and mind. <br /> <br /> <br />By Soul Poet <br />Tom Zart <br />Most Published Poet <br />On The Web <br /> <br /> <br />TOM ZART’S RADIO POEMS <br /> <br />You can hear all of Tom Zart’s 330 poems <br />of love, war, faith and more 24-7 on web radio at <br /> <br />http: //internetvoicesradio.com/Arch-TomZart.htm <br /> <br />Tom Zart ARCHIVES: <br /> <br />Global <br />Special <br />Operations <br />101 <br /> <br />http: //www.globalspecialoperations.com/tomzart2.html<br /><br />Tom Zart<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/soul-poet-tom-zart-s-god-s-poets/
