No Holds Barred

I have no hold cards when writing poetry  
If I ever did, what kind of poet would I be  
I decree poetry should be free of any bars  
Being free eternally to live amongst the stars  
 
Like space cars to Mars, words take flight  
Expressing ones insight without any fright  
We must fight for what's right each & everyday  
Shining bright with the light within our wordplay  
 
Able to convey what's imprisoned in our minds  
Words have the stamina to handle tests of time  
In rhymes or free verse, from a wallet or a purse  
Pigeonholing is a curse & there ain't nothing worse
