my friend edward
My friend Edward is a Super-poet
Words to feelings, he sure does own it.
Love, hurt, pathos he all extracts
From simple verses he re-enacts.
And people travelled from afar
To hear his pithy, magic, verse
Of words ‘nd rhymes, intentions bold
Freeing thoughts, unscaling eyes,
Stripping out the cant and lies,
Other paths, our minds to free.
Our inner child delight with intent
To see and hear just what was meant
To see beyond the here and now
With crafted words to show us how
To see the world with open mind
His words with charm they do delight us
An artist’s take, an artist’s view
Allowing you to journey through
The news, the headlines, policies
With a chance the truth to seize.
Of simple words and simple rhymes
To help us move to better times.
Dedicated to my friend Edward. Veritas!
