Lavender's Dungeon

The age of poetry

has long passed

Young minds

search for fresh highs

Quick releases

Quick verses

they say

is the only way

get your 5 seconds

and soon be forgotten

So many people

trying to make

eyes avert

pages turn

easy money

but this world

wasn’t meant to foster talent

Ask Van Gogh

Nick Drake

The desire to succeed

doesn’t follow time’s guidelines

The best you can do

is greet those who stop to listen
