A POET'S MISSION
BY: MELVIN BANGGOLLAY
TABUK, KALINGA, PHILIPPINES
P-oets gifted with magical tongue
That can elicits winds command
And a pen powered with a vision
Has a universal ought and mission.
O-ver every domain and men’s land
Poets exist for a call and a plan
To speak their heart’s conviction
For the truth to clear any oblivion.
E-ven sometimes it calls him to stand
In a den of danger shattering his plan
He never rest to make an invocation
For truth to set free any speculation.
T-ruth is his power and command
And his shield to expose anyone
Who made any culpable violation
Against one’s rights and volition.
S-ervice to humanity is his call to anyone
For no man ever exist as an island
For every poet has a sense of mission
To share brotherhood to every nation.
