To High School Students of the Future

I know, I know
You don't want to read this.
Yes, you're right
The teacher's over-analyzing.

Try to focus,
Put in some real effort.
You may find
Some poetry is really good.

Can it speak to you?
Sure it can!
Can it help you out?
Of course!

Maybe it seems
A waste of your time.
Maybe you care
Not about Keats' rhyme.

But think.

These short lines
Can contain
Worlds of meaning.

These short lines
Can contain
Life changing words.

These short lines
Can contain
Solution to your problem.

I know, I know,
You don't care who I am.
You probably shouldn't.

The author matters not.
Only poem, and the words in 't.
