"Destined Minds"

WHAT IS POETRY IV - Organic Words

Ingest not the mercury,
and expose yourself to life's toxicity
that which might impare your visual field
and leave you deaf unable to hear the words

Grow now and nuture the words
in fertile soil free from industry
derived from the living thought of man
these now organic words of poetry

Interconnected compounds so
solicitously organised
volatile vapour of words with power
to bring you to your knees

Life giving words that can oxygenate
and lift the very soul to to glorious heights
give I approval to these organic words pure
that delight the heart of man

And astutely asks the mind
where now the nebulous of purist philosophy
for drafted now the enforcement of provision
was set there all along

To drink the living water
the organic of the creator
that warned of the choking weeds
saving grace and vindicator
