When the world is lost in its noise The words of the poet are the calm in the storm The seed of every song Poets hold the soul of our stories They are the messengers of hope and reason Translators of what's heard from the hearts and minds of the people Keepers of history Makers of magic and promise Street reporters who take notes for the future Who tell it like it is And how it should be The words of the poet, heals the wounds of our spirits Brings balance Breaks through the chaos Speaks life That's why the world needs more poets
