Poetry : There ain't no money in poetry


"There ain't no money in poetry
That's what sets the poet free"
(Cold Dog Soup - Guy Clark)

In love there ain't no guarantee
That's what sets the lover free

In lust there ain't no loyalty
That's what sets the rover free

There ain't no doors to eternity
That;s what sets the traveler free

There ain't no end to liberty
That's what sets our prisoners free

There ain't no life that we can see
That's what sets the rules to be
