the greatest poet
the greatest poet is the pen it-self
for it puts to paper its genuity,and originality
immortalising the hand that clasped it
because the writer and the written are one
then the poet is wedded to the paper
as their love affair lasts through ages
that if you take one from the other
they ever remain incomplete,and undone
mere is man just a toy device
used as a vessel to convey the message
that the ink spits all over the blank pages
and re-writes that which has already been written
so let shakespeare not take the honours of the pen
or dickens give to God what is to caesar
but all accomplices can take blame for the crime
also can all men share the glory of their pen
for it puts to paper its genuity,and originality
immortalising the hand that clasped it
because the writer and the written are one
then the poet is wedded to the paper
as their love affair lasts through ages
that if you take one from the other
they ever remain incomplete,and undone
mere is man just a toy device
used as a vessel to convey the message
that the ink spits all over the blank pages
and re-writes that which has already been written
so let shakespeare not take the honours of the pen
or dickens give to God what is to caesar
but all accomplices can take blame for the crime
also can all men share the glory of their pen
