Who will be the poet to the poor
For the abused, used, confused
Who aren’t even aware
They have a hope and a prayer
Who will be the poet to the poor
Rich man’s writer is but a whore
Producing propaganda for war
Or marketing merchandise to sell more
Who will be the poet to the poor
It’s what these words are for
Poet to the Poor
