POG Poet Laureate FINALS - Aaron vs Bojtun! Vote NOW!
Ok, here are the final 2 poems for the POG Poet Laureate competition! Whomever wins (aaron or bojtun) will become POG's resident Poet Laureate, so we want LOTS AND LOTS of voting. Simply post which one you think should win. I want to get at least 27 poggers voting here, so please vote early and tell everyone else to come vote as well.
Here we go: 1: Notice not the surrounding swirls of hate. Joining their rage only hardens ones heart. The search for joy must be your fate. Attainment will let you rise apart From the mob who toil and curse Their lot and wish upon you worse. Honest labor brings its own reward Not in mere treasure or stamped gold But like a song with a perfect chord Rising to a crescendo bold. The ache of mind or muscle brings A delight not found in other things. Find for yourself a burning passion Ignoring those who follow only fashion. A dream deferred is a dream that died. A man lives not if he has not tried. If you know you played it right and hard You won’t bemoan the turn of a wrong card. Strive as Sisyphus with rock against your shoulder. Know, that happiness begins not at the top; Rather at the bottom where the boulder Must again be pushed up the unachievable outcrop. Son I know you do not think I’m sage But please take heed of what is on this page. 2: Begone thy head of the salacious demons Vile, foul creatures of filth Be shuffled unto the gallows Be lynched I say! Be lynched! For the bounds of good you have trespassed Stamping and stomping a putrid dance of deceit, lies, happenstance O, thy well be warned forever an eternity of scorn shall be yours Twist in your web A hoax is abound Mine eyes know tis true Be adrift now, run underground! Who shall salt the arrow? Who shall steady the bow? For if not you and I, then who? Who shall free BobO? |
