E.O.P. 2: Rebirth Of Poetry

To be a good poet
you must master all the rules
learn to accept all opinions
turn them into helpful tools

Engage in some revision
and try hard to perfect
make sure people understand
your poetic intellect

Listen to what they're saying
when you're reading their critiques
all they're trying to do is help
to make you stronger than the weak

No matter how long you've been writing
whether amateur or veteran
we all strive as poets
to be equal and no better than

When you get inspired
breathe it in and just embrace it
try to put it into words conceive
creations don't just waste it

And when you're writing make sure
that you have something to say
challenge the minds of your readers
with the magic of your word play

It feels like you got the world
inside the palm of your hand
this treasure is so sacred
no one else would understand

You got to have natural talent
you got to have skill
got to have a poetic mind and be able
to express what you feel

Some people may like us
and some people may not
we can't change their minds
for in hate mode they are locked

All the harsh words that these people say
they never seem to break us
they should take it up with the Lord
for he's the one who made us

Poetry gives most of us
a feeling of release
allowing us to say whatever
'cause it brings us love and peace

We all strive to be the best
it's up to us to reform
and through faith and dedication
poetry will be reborn
