wizards are like so dark ages

wizards are like so dark ages




there was a time
when the things poets
could rhyme
more or less had to chime
with the current ebb and flow
of the direction
your faith should go. 


and after centuries
of this or that enlightened ho
one would think
anywhere your heart 
might go
would be swell enough
for any sack of tough stuff
to allow
into the world of knowledge
we all call
enlightened college.


so 
when you refer to your particular
wizard
as if he was 
this or that magic lizard
with special prophetic goodies
that only you
carry inside your hoodie.


just remember
the heart is an endless giver
that everyone
can hold the key to deliver
if you 
see everyone as the wizards
that i do.
