Am I a working poet

Am I a working poet

Or a very lazy writer

Am I the one who saw it

Or simply another inscriber


Am I the truth that sends

Or the pretending aristocrat

Who fears all that defends

The status quo in his purple hat


Am I the nearly man

Or one leaning to the left

Am I with the gypsy caravan

Or once more sadly bereft


Am I the artist on tour

Or the working man’s retiree

Am I the epitome of the poor

Or seeker disguised as visionary
