On The Neglect Of George Crabbe

He wrote of life's reality in the England of his time Of the plight of the poor in his marvellous rhyme But in the neglect of the poems of George Crabbe it might seem fair to say Is that he wrote of the poor in this some part neglect of him and of his poems would play In his poems had he glorified royalty, the wealthy gentry and the self conceited squire His poems to fans of the successful would be more appealing and as a deceased poet many his work would admire But the plight of the poor not interesting to the majority of people Worldwide And the main reason George Crabbe's poems are neglected is that he was on the down and out side George Crabbe is one of the near forgotten though few poets as great as he was true to say He was the poet of very poor people the World is in need of more poets like him today But the voices for the homeless fall on deaf ears today as when he lived many decades ago That there are many poor people today as there were in George Crabbe's time happens to be so George Crabbe the great poet of poor people his poems are neglected today Though he was a marvellous wordsmith with words he surely had a way It is only of the wealthy and famous that most people wish to hear of or to read about And only the kind and compassionate left to speak for the down and out.
