An Insult to True Talent

The rhyming, the rhyming,
the foolish senseless folly of
the nonsensical rhyming,
and this is art?

Nothing to say and nothing said.
So why waste breath and pen?

Do you have something to say?
Then say it!
Say it or say nothing at all.

Don't waste the time of those who
would hope that you have 
something to say.
Something worthy of being heard.

And those who admire this nothing said.
How easily they muse.

I have studied many of the classic works,
some of such great thought and depth,
so much to say and so much said.

Thoughts transcending time itself.
Universally understood, 
admired, and appreciated.

Could a senseless rhymer's work
ever compare to the greats?

Yes, but only in the minds
of the most simple of minded.
