William Ernest Henley inspires us with INVICTUS so bold
James Earl Ray shook our MLK hearts hurt our collective souls.
In the Beginning was The Word poets know this the best
Crafting symbols of consciousness they move all the rest
Poets Philosophers People in that order change the world
Assassins stop life yet profound spoken words still unfurl.

Creation preservation and destruction are the eternal of these
Each of us a poet or assassin with words which do you choose?
Or are we most of all preserving status and wearing both shoes.
