Poets are fools, <br />With words as tools, <br />They sculpt statues of dreams, <br />With wide open seams, <br />That really cannot apply, <br />For life Is what it seems, <br />And on dreams, we can't rely. <br /> <br />Poets are fools, <br />For they want with their tools, <br />The whole world to satisfy, <br />But you can't change the World, <br />And it is quite absurd, <br />For Poets to even try. <br /> <br />Poets are fools, <br />In a fantasy world, <br />They can't even justify, <br />Where they look for their words, <br />And dream, dreams of 'unheard', <br />As they keep on looking for the Sky....<br /><br />Sandra Feldman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/poets-are-fools/
