The Pen Must Have a New Vibe

W D BARRY-IGIVISA

The pen in the hand of fools imprisons,
but when the wise wield it, it liberates.
And there are many who have built dungeons
for dissenters that pen as heart dictates.

But as the heart is free so must the pen,
and a poet is he who can speak his heart
even when it brings him hell or heaven,
for to be free and fearless is true art.

Cursed be the fool who tries to dictate art!
In the school of poetry there is no dean,
but geeks and gurus who are very smart,
and all are equal for they speak from within.

It's foolish to control art or subscribe
to a thought. The pen must have a new vibe.
