The World Is in Dire Need

Of great heart-ed generous folks like you
No poem has a second draft,
Till someone points out with intentions true

Yes I give due credit too.

That I am really not adept,
At the finesse of writing,
Imaginary and metaphorical poetry,
Is known to me

Why can't we call a spade,
a spade?
It’s bothering me.
Why should I say moon,
When I mean your face
And
Why should I condemn you,
Just to field a gloomy face.

Do tell me….

Millions are there to compose,
Mostly all such poetry
To the garbage bin of time,
They all, yes many dispose.

Poetry has outlived its value today,
Yet poets dead and gone
Like Shakespeare,
In the hearts of mankind will stay

I don't write for recognition, nice though it is. That i put my writing on the web is only a secondry act, if the web had never been invented i would be writing on note books only.I believe i'd be the caveman with chalk and cave wall being recipient. So please two things i'd say about this poem, don't belittle yourself so, this is a good bloody poem, though it needs a little work. Don't write for being noticed, write because you wan't to.it's the best way. Regards Roscoe...

Roscoe Llane,

Religion will rip your faith off, and return
for the mask of disbelief that's left.

my
CANCER OF MY EGO
OVERCOMES
me
and even though I compose...
I would like to know ,which artist does not need applause?
for praise and better performance...???
In my case ,I don't buy it.,that's all the difference...
Thanks
