Bane of the modern poet

One day people will know me
They will know too well my name
as they know red means danger
I will have that fame.

Words are a funny thing-
to smith them is the craft to create
As easy as writing what you thought then said?
Poets beautify not satiate.

That's why we're rarely known for our craft
a few followers for the best as they breath
but modern poets need no audience to philosophize- instead
we wait for any reaction to what they've read
and when tragedy or time makes moves to take us-
Well that's when I'll be famous:
After I'm dead.
