The Good Samaritan Poet
by
Wesley A. Storer
Perhaps poetry should rule supreme
If you want to know someone
Read their thought life on paper
If they have the mental presence
To express their inner essence
For we are not who we think we are
Rather we are what we think
The Commies define poets thus
Petty bourgeois sentimentalists
Engaging in vanity and self indulgence
What do they really know for sure?
When they are like everyone else
Seizing heavenly treasures by force
Lacking humility of circumspection
Let's choose to follow the Samaritan
Rather than obey the Levite
