Man Of Mist

What not to be

A worldly man must first insist
That things of beauty still exist

That poetry must… in this world
Have yet the passion to persist

By the  force of pen in hands of men
By resolve does worldly man resist

The fate of many others in
The surrender to desist

Stand ramrod straight in parsing prose
In search of rhyme… to ne’er twist
 
Be a man of words, be one that knows
to not become… a man of mist

True that.
The beginning line in itself is such a beautiful thought.
Till you dont believe in beauty, you're bound to never see/know any.
The rest of the poem also, its a great thought, which has often been in front of us, but the manner, the straightforwardness of this poem, makes it very elegant.
