for all poets
kimhamner

you are proud and didactic,
 1
self-proclaimed experts
 2
of the human race
 3
born to scrutinize its inadequacies behind a smoke screen
 4
 
 
you are the ultimate cowards,
 5
scribbling furiously about the failures around you
 6
from the confines of your single apartments,
 7
fighting desperately against injustices
 8
with a pen and paper
 9
 
 
you are a pretentious group
 10
detached from the laymen,  
 11
you stand a few inches taller than all us sinners
 12
like you keep your egos in your shoes
 13
 
 
you live in denial
 14
of the wrongs you have committed and allowed,
 15
the lives you’ve made for yourselves
 16
 
 
as for me
 17
I weep for you because I know what I am:
 18
I’m a creator,
 19
a writer,
 20
a novelist,
 21
an author,
 22
an instigator,
 23
a journalist,
 24
and a critic.
