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
