Poets and Assassins

Poets and Assassins the opposite ends of our humanity

They’ve one thing in common often use their name - all three

William Ernest Henley inspires us with INVICTUS so bold

James Earl Ray shook our MLK hearts hurt our collective souls.

In the Beginning was The Word poets know this the best

Crafting symbols of consciousness they move all the rest

Poets Philosophers People in that order change the world

Assassins stop life yet profound spoken words still unfurl.

Three is the Creator’s number loves triangles and Trinities

Creation preservation and destruction are the eternal of these

Each of us a poet or assassin with words which do you choose?

Or are we most of all preserving status and wearing both shoes.
