Performance poets be aware or at least guarded <br />Despite you great success <br />You may or may not possess <br />The element of great nobleness <br />Of interest to more than a few of us <br />Who follow lives as much as words <br />Those who wonder when wandering <br />In the historical sheets <br />Where we will find the black historical tird <br />Frequently hidden in pride and power and possessions <br />Things that own us far more than we own them <br />Freedom from the powers of their tyrannies <br />That God alone has power to grant.<br /><br />Bill Grace<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-a-performance-poet-unknown/
