The first bank of poetry

 


The first bank of poetry

The wisdom of the world is in a verse.

The mystery of life is in a book,

for poets re-create the universe

in every rhyme. It may be worth a look


into the bank of poetry, the vault

containing all the poems ever born

and all the clever words meant to assault

our muddled brains. For surely verse is torn


directly from the living mind of Man

presented red and dripping (with a smile,

the mask of jesters since this world began)

that men may read these words of wisdom while


they're searching with emotion, seeking morals ...

or resting, warm and comfy, on their laurels.
