A Spark

I lurk
In the shadows
Of history

I sweat
In the hotbed
Of politics

I throb
In the heart
Of journalism

I sashay
On the screens
Of showbiz

I feast
On the smorgasbord
Of gossip

I knock
On the doors
Of stealth

I am…
A minefield
Of passion

I am…
A lectern
For debate

I am…
Controversy

A spark
That determines
Human interest.

Chaos

When chaos ensues
Confusion reigns
Yet,
In the midst of it all
We still remain sane.

We rise above it
And restore order
To prove
In the midst of it all
That in our hearts, nerves and mind

We celebrate the spirit of our humanity.

I

I create...
Change.

In inspire...
Inventions.

I launch...
Careers.

Love.


I preserve...
Decline.

Riots.

Lives.


I stir...
Hatred.


I am...
A moment
That makes the difference.

Poetry

Poetry is…
The drama of our emotions
Spurred by the experiences of life
Recorded in words destined for posterity.

IT

To dream.

Possibilities.

Obstacles.

To be different.

To achieve.

Change.

The Spirit of our Humanity
For it brings ideas to life.
And shapes this world
Into what we want it to be.
