(For my friends @ P.H.com.) <br /> <br /> Fellow poets! <br /> Colleagues! <br /> <br />Here's one of your own boss! <br />Read some of his poems! <br /> And put him <br />Out of his miseries! <br /> <br />In the universe of the poet <br /> It's so silent <br />You can hear a pin drop! <br /> <br /> Be swayed not <br />By the hurly burly of life! <br />Aloofness from the suffering <br />Of the surly throng is the essence! <br /> <br />May solitude be your brother! Silence <br />Be the middle name of your sister! <br />You're alone when you write! <br /> <br /> I, Ngaka Motaung! <br /> <br />I have sounded the war drums to a revolution! <br /> <br /> Be brave my friends! <br /> Fear nothing and fear nobody! <br /> A tearjerker poet might as well <br />Find another profession to kill their <br /> Talent with dull regular monotony! <br /> Listen to what your heart says! <br />Believe in the power of your visionary imagination! <br /> And that exhausts the exclamation mark! !<br /><br />BrokenHeartPheko Motaung<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lonely-poems-to-the-poets/
