What Is A Poem Worth ?

For What Is The Worth Of A Poem On The Street

Does It Have A Heartbeat Is It Offbeat Complete

In It's Wordplay Does It Say What You Really Intend

In The End Can You Defend What You Last Penned

Can You Show What You Say Now Is What You Know

Are You A Dynamo Can You Overthrow The Dumb Show

Or Is This Imaginary Arbitrary In Practical Experience

Criteria Delerious Serious Yet Ultimately Mysterious

Does It Speak To The Common Ones Hearing You

Something Known Said And Read Or Something New

Will It Get Them Up On Their Feet Entreat No Retreat

No Surrender Is This Poem A Heart Render Or A Mender

Reminder To Be Kinder Care More For Those On Ground Floor

Or Even A Restore Encore When You Give Some A What For
