ohhh.... John 1:1

of course it can change the world
into a better place - God himself
has written - "in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

He, himself, a poet, a refuse of 

an old star as you poetically stated: so stand among those souls, those bodies that ache for no more 
than to listen to half truths - say 

what is in you to say - and for 
what they pay - that a poet's word 
saves the world, a stone throw 

into neruda's path - where all politics is but politics that takes lives who speak not those who don't 

and fear is of the mind and of the body - death a welcome guest, at least we think 

and that is all 

poems are
