I'm A Poetic Soldier:
To be one of select few to do what only
some of us are able to, I tend to deal with
life through my pen.
As a poet it's my duty to show how words
have power, the power to guide us,
the power to inspire, the power to touch
hearts, even the power to change how we
look at life.
It's my duty to give a well-expressed idea, that
can give a voice to our innermost yearnings,
or illuminate the path to our fulfillment.
I have a duty to write the truth,
to write something that calms people down,
fire them up, or get them going, inspiring people
to dig deep down into themselves and get
in touch with the strength inside they didn'nt
know they had.
A poetic soldier roaming the world,
I sit quitely just for a moment with the meaning
of words help me to write what's within me,
and commect with others,
yet staying true to myself.
I stand here only one of thousands of poets soldiers,
together we can fight with words,
help those who are voiceless,
letting them know life isn't at all
that hopeless.
Dedicated to all the poets around the world.

The moment where we answer the question "what is our purpose" to inspire through language. No matter which dialect we speak we have the power over raw emotions. Ours and those around us
