Your
poetry
cannot
be
puri_ed
and
will
not
be
what
it
has
to
be,
unless
you
have
your
own
solitude.
The
more
you
have
this
solitude
within
you,
the
more
this
quality
is
achieved.
Forget
the
childish
and
deceptive
words
that
say
poetry
is
created
from
a
crowd….
Today’s
poet
shall
perceive
this
point
in
solitude.
Our
friends’
poems
nowadays,
lack
such
power.
They
sound
more
like
creations
out
of
arti_ce,
with
no
faith
or
belief.
Most
of
the
subjects
created
in
war
scenes,
are
raw
and
resemble
an
unripe
paste…,
because
they
have
not
stayed
in
the
poet’s
heart
and
have
not
matured
with
him.
Today’s
poems
look
like
a
precept
or a
manual
that
well
remind
us
how
to
live
but
do
not
add
any
value
to
the
power
of
originality
and
the
ability
of
living….
Solitude
my
dear,
gives
all
the
above
to
you.
My
dear!
Our
fellow
citizens
have
become
way
too
lazy.
They
want
a
chewed
piece
to
be
put
in
their
mouth.
They
cannot
digest
poetry
and
believe
that
a
poem
shall
be
absorbed
all
at
once…
I am
not
ashamed
of
repeating
these
words:
“you
do
your
own
job”.
Let
the
mill
go
round.
As
long
as
the
water
is
enough,
it
does
not
matter
how
it
sounds
from
the
outside.
