Poets Are Heroes Poem by Benjamin Chiu Uy

Poets Are Heroes

Lines are written on a paper, typed on electronickeyboards,

But words and the ink must come revealingthe battlegrounds,
senses, clarity and visions must be redeem, restored,

The reasons on the dark tunnels,
Theenigmas exposed,
The punishments involved,

This is the task of a poet to lead where others have failed,
To lead you from this pointless inchoateto sunlight blissfull,

As you remember your mothers breasts,

Your uncles guidance, your friends,
And your fathers instructions,

You danced with your bethrothed on the night of the deflowering and toasted with your friends,
Where every phases of life seems availiable and unfolding,

How care was encrusted to the world,
And love was spreading like sweet flowers,

As closed as breath taking, the sounds ofbirds and the leaves, and talking about loss, admitting how its not impossible to feel this grievious mistake, betrayed by your own people,

How heaven and earth are interlinked, intertwined and life wovened like a fabric,

Poethaved your heart's purpose,
Shereads that smiles to your faces with the luminescence ofart, the beauty of the language,
Instructs, invites you to her welcomed territory.
