Poetry don't need Adornment.
It is law, and principles.
It is culture and history
Moulded out of truth that only few knows and recognizes and follows.
Poetry don't need adornment.
It grows out of peace and harmony.
It blossoms in passion like a sacrificed love of Christ.
Poetry don't need adornment.
It is a beautiful thing,
Charming words from thy lips of creativity.
Smiling chuckles I heard within thy crowd
Thy words of beauty and integrity and pride.
Poetry doesn't need adornment.
Like you and me, it is already beautiful.
It entertains, informs and educates.
Like life, it moves us to tears and laughter.
Like life, it satisfies and leave us in hunger.
