Poetry To The Soul Belong

Though the literary critics claim to be good judges and certain poets and their poems they extol
There's no such a thing as a good or a bad poet as all poetry it comes from the soul
And one cannot say that one soul is better than another as souls one ought not to compare
All poets deserve encouragement and credit but then all in life is not fair.

Whether your poems are in rhyme or in blank verse should not really matter at all
You just keep on penning your verses your contribution to literature never too small
Though the critics may choose to ignore you do not give writing poetry away
Your great soul it is as good as any and you will be acknowledged one day.

Not everyone can be wealthy and famous but then what is wealth and is fame
When our life pathway leads to the reaper and the reaper treats us all as the same
The reaper doesn't say you're a good poet and on Planet Earth you can stay
Though the soul lives on in one form or another so many people think and say.

The literary critics take it upon themselves for to decide who is or is not a poet
This one is not worth criticizing and this one is worthy of note
And though they may be well educated I do feel they have got it wrong
As no such a thing as a good or a bad poet for poetry to the soul belong.
