refusing the crown

what makes me a poet

whose thoughts are drawn

and constructed in series

of ‘broken line’

that many in portals

of academia

may eventually sideline

considering it a wasted talent

is it my inclination

to refuse the crown

with my protesting

to act as the crowd clown

entertaining

not like a man

with a herd instinct

with no mind to own
