What subject could the poet understand?
From God such an answer I demand!
Plunged on this isthmus to look for light?
Or only to observe humanities spite!
Why of the poet is eternity asked?
Forever in servitude, In the muses grasp!
Why isn't the writer cursed with such woes?
Living his existence only in prose!
What is asked of the stoic’s side?
Only to maintain his damnable pride!
What does the faithful find inside?
With his convictions seldom tried!
Does the poet find in others truth?
He is merely remarking on mankind's youth!
Is the poet to observe the world's machinations?
The search for God has greater expectations!
Where is the place the poet sculpts his art?
Only in the clay of the passionate heart!
So, what subject could the poet understand?
All the Devine, to a grain of sand!
