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
