a poet a vision (re-post)


a what ?

a ... Poet ?

a ... poet ?

what's this ?




they say a poet is an outlandish joker

telling us real or unreal lies

from a dreamland

over the rainbow




not true




no acrobat can claim

being a poet




a poet is a vision

vision by day

vision by night

visions of the night




a poet is a vision

the one and only sensible vision

in a world gone mad insane cruel

would you do shopping in such a universe ?

would you buy your diamonds there ?




you couldn't survive without the poet's vision

but you don't listen to him

but you don't read him

but you don't pay attention to him




his action is invisible

he protects the planet from an hydrogen bomb blast

mankind is not aware of this blessing

good for the butcher and the baker their earth is solid

the poet's ground is nowhere to be touched




he looks at the world

writes

then laughs at it




he laughs at the world

writes

then looks at it




he's not a fallen angel

he's a nightwatcher

he's a weightwatcher

he'll tell you when you grow fat




give him danger

when he's asleep

he'll wake you up as well




he hasn't got any word

in his shopping cart

he just hold the energies

he waits on them




he can't get no satisfaction

that's his reward his grace




another kind of priest




he isn't even sure he'll still be a poet

tomorrow




risky




a poet a vision

a vision a poet
