I EARNED POETRY : Inspirational Poetry

Real poets earn, poetry

Will I pay gold for my trophy?

Shall my reward be denied for earthly gold?

Are compliments my only reward for my soul

Enticement bestowed upon my vanity

Cost me my honor, the virtue I earned

Does a poet pay for endorsement?

A mere picture typed upon my own wall

A philosophers soul, stoned to be nothing

The words are all the poet owns

Will I give them for credit bought, I own

Your Nemesis slays your dragon

I will not pay for my own words, I bought

To give my all to systems that owns all poetry

Taking of it giving it away for my vanity

My words are all I own

Spreading them among robbers, stealing fruit

Chewing them up as glass, spread among wolves

I will not, have not, did not sale my soul

Give me my reward, credit, I earned poetry
