poetry cannot change the world
despite the claim the poet made
and yet we write with that intent
to make a mark beyond the grave
to carve in stone a final wish
for peace and tenderness withal
is every poets fondest dream
save those who curse the mortal soul
for poets of darkness cannot weep
their tears are spent and dry as grief
they must condemn both gods and men
they know the truth of poetry
poetry cannot change the world
cannot change the petulant soul
