Amidst the dusty roads
with ancient marks,
we wonder through this town.
On the narrow streets down
with breezes of the tall trees.
Politics and Poetry
seem not to see eye to eye.
Poetry is truth and
politics fights off poetry.
In same vein,
Poets have disdain
for politicians and
politicians have high suspicion
for poets.
When can either lean well or stand tall ?
