Poetry

An engineer is a poet of sorts,
Precisely ordering her concepts
Through strings of operations.

A poet is an engineer of words
Laying down an idea,
Using his deductive proof
Of conjunctions and copulas,
Of phrases and clauses,
To describe something true about human existence..

Wise men are the ones who like them---
Common folk don't do math in their free time
So also they don't read poetry.

However, for those who are engineers,
And doctors, and lawyers,
And priests, and poets, and professors,
And students of life...
We take enjoyment from the big concepts.
So, those in the STEM field
Don't say a poem s useless---

Look at it like a riddle which needs solved.
An that riddle will reveal deeper things
About the human cosmos swirling around us.
It fills a mind like a cup as sweet
As milk and honey. It fills a mind with meaning.

I pray to God that it is not a curse
To think deeply, and see wisely.
For, if it were, I would remain saddened
By the loss of my mind.
The only thing sweeter than poetry
Is love--- And Poetry teaches me how to love
For it forces me to listen carefully to what other people are saying
And it teaches me the joy of other people's ideas.
