Simple Man (a poem by Gary T.)
The scholar can jot a few odd words
And many will praise what he wrote
The simple man can only scratch the page
And never provoke a thought
A scholar can send a message that’s clear
With finely structured words
The simple man only marks up the page
And is rarely ever heard
I am but that simple man
And can’t write the words that I feel
The way that my heart aches for you
With a pain that’s so very real
The scholar may write a thousand words
Of passion and of rage
But since I am a simple man
I must leave an empty page
