POETS ARE NO LIVING LESSONS

I have no magical power
to change my restlessness
into glory radiating
peace or purpose in living:

they give me no room to better
men or myself but condemn
as one hanged for nothing:
poets are no living lessons

I stand aside ruminating
what I couldn't do or be
or await miracles through
circles and zigzags of the mind

even corrupt faith and curse
destiny for the maze
of my own making and yet say
I know the spirit's upward fire

A GOOD THOUGHT PROVOKING PIECE; But do I smell Sinicism here?
Poets can make a difference, much more than they think they can! VOICING OUR OPENION IS JUST LIKE BREATHING FOR US!
I would suffocate! If I Can't have the freedom to voice my opinion! Thank God you and I LIVE IN A COUNTRY, WHICH GIVES FREEDOM SPEECH TO IT'S PEOPLE.
NEVER THE LESS A GOOD IDEA!
