What they need ...

There are some days when i will read
Blogs posts and thought-​​posts talk­ing about
Every­thing from gay rights to apartheid

And then I will want some more
So I will twit­ter like never before
And there some more I will get
Links and vids, that I’ll never for­get
Talk­ing more about these things
You know – poverty, pain and suffering

But then some­times, when I’ve had enough
I sim­ply will not read this stuff
But switch to more ethe­real fare
Lines of love and of despair
Lines writ­ten from the heart
Some in love, some bro­ken apart
And these lines I con­sume
Their thoughts and form I will assume
And become one of them – A poet!

A poet who can sing and write
Of joy and love and sil­ver light
While peo­ple out keep writ­ing on
On gay rights and other woes begone
I am here, sit­ting still
Writ­ing lines on daffodils

I know peo­ple out there are dying
But some­times – 
What they need is not news,
What they need is love.
