When the poetry dies
When the poetry dies
The poet no longer tries

When the poetry dies
Lost thoughts are your demise

When the poetry dies
Messed up ideas, you despise

When the poetry dies
Mixed up words are your prize

When the poetry dies
You roll the dice, snake eyes

When the poetry dies
The crow no longer flies

When the poetry dies
You tell yourself lies

When the poetry dies
Your poems are hidden, in disguise

When the poetry dies
Hell takes your chance to poetize

When the poetry dies
Your entire world does capsize

When the poetry dies
You feel the tears in your cries

When the poetry dies
You welcome death by sunrise

When the poetry dies
You hope everything explodes and dies
