    Life Lessens

     One lesson--
    Already you're a pro.
    Expression
    Through riddle, rhythm, rhyme
    Won't lessen
    The pain it takes to grow.
    Depression
    Can sometimes make you climb.

    A part of
    Our lives in this bastille,
    Oppression
    Is sad reality.
    The art of
    Expressing how you feel . . .
    Confession
    Is offered guiltily:

    I'm sorry,
    For both of us. You see,
    Discretion
    Is not an easy task.
    Sob story
    Has been my legacy.
    Obsession--
    A burning powder flask.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
