As poets we like to think of ourselves as a few of those who like to think
But to think takes a lot of thinking thoughts that the audience should resonate with
And thus the thought structures and psychoanalytical patterns to be drawn
Have to have the backing of the thought-structures of the people around us
What am I saying?
That to think the way we think the audience must think that way
So that whatever we stand to project, or protect, to perceive and to protest
They must be the same things that society wants to project or protect, to perceive and to protest
Thus when we speak of things that annoy us and the State decides to silence us
It is not silencing the poets but silencing the audience that likes to think that it thinks.
What am I saying?
