Well put. Truly, I could not have come close to saying what you said in such a way, but totally agree with your thoughts about what poetry is to each individual in a general way.

Untitled....

Who stole my pity
for a child's hungry eyes
gave me a heart which greeds,
cheats, thieves, and lies.

Sold me some hatred
a buy one get one free
with an ironclad contract
and a no money back guarantee.

Who popped my bubble dreams
with an anguish pin of despair
made me wonder what in life
was so worthy I should care.

Who, I ask, did these things
for who is there to blame
but if no answers for all these
then tell me what is hell.
