Poems by Ade Caparas

Are We Just Poets?

are we eroded thoughts
pen language voice
clamouring for enthronement
deaf ears clogged nose
bitter hearts blind eyes
too much poverty concentrated wealth
blind religion corrupt politics
nature abuses… shout shout
are we just poets?

***

weird so weird perhaps
but ever since I can remember
as young as 8 years old
up to this present time
even if i am by myself
i always eat with ambience setting
and always for two
my friends my children
can attest to this!

then
twenty-four hours
all days weeks years
of my life
my dining table is set
complete
with all candles and flowers
i simply feel the joy
when I see such ambience!

Yes yes yes
poets
without exception
are blessed with
brilliance of thoughts
imagination
creative language
modern technology
our era must excel
we must be
the new “literati”
