Subject: Profundity!

Profundity!


Shallow minds need shallow thoughts
for comfort is what they crave...
My thoughts are not gathered
from shallow, stagnant pools
where filth gathers and floats
and sinks to murky non-depths
and smells rise putridly
on the passing of a casual breeze...
Rather, I gather my thoughts
from the deepest wells ever dug
where treasures of past and future
are hid from the average eyes;
where the freshest waters seep –
for I knew from the time I could know
that the world of man is parched for truth
and many are those made sick
from drinking of the shallow muck
and so I rest in defense of my case:
my poetry shall never be
for television fare nor radio blare!
I must add for those who question
the motives behind my words:
If you want to sell beer, sell beer;
but if the muse of words
chooses your heart for a home
take care you do not become her pimp
and sell her for a prostitute.
