Language is a tool.
Words are a support
Words are a maze.
Poetry is for the mind
Poetry is for the soul
Poetry is a trick.
A poem is an interpretation
A poem is a riddle
A poem is a secret
A poem is a lie
A poem is an illusion.
No one knows what a poem is
But they insist it’s beautiful
So why do they lie,
What do they see
Or is it that they want to be seen.
