All of the age old poets that we know
All wrote about things within their day~
Worded in their specific talent and pen
Told in their special way~
All were men and women of credit and respect
That people of the day all looked up to~
As what they said at any time it mattered
And was well read then it's true~
Within this day and age I wonder so
As I look around at the world just now~
And wonder what they'd have to say
If they lived in this day and age somehow~
We being mostly positive and loving people
Wearing rose colored glasses when we can~
But rest assure we are not blind and deaf
As we look around at the world and our fellow man~
Sad to say there is not the common sense today
For how so many things since then have changed~
They wrote of the beautiful,nature and life sublime
So much has for reasons unknown been re arranged~
Oh there are still lots to write about
But the poet of this day and age~
Has not the amount of subjects at hand
That older poets wrote about then being the rage~
But an honest writer tries in his or her way
Today to give wings to thought as well~
To hopefully have people think a little more
And have things one day now as swell~
The deeper poet sees the love and sadness
And as well the many broken heart~
The amount of wrong doers getting away with
Both the horse and as well the cart~
We all would like to transport all into happiness
And have them all find only poetic gold~
But the truth is that in a lot of cases
Worse luck things are not as was in days of old~
But being as loving as can be and as positive
As possible really does often cheer a sadder soul-
And by being so one can help so many in life
To know sunshine by the love and warmth you've told.

To some extent of things that astonished him or her
That often made no sense at all far as they could see
Many of them travelers not academics upon our earth
That being out there abe to view all things naturelly

They existed then many exist even yet this day and age
Grammer corection they never usually gave a caring poke
They wrote just as they talked in a conversation mostly
Poetry and lyric being themselves writing as they spoke
