After The Poetry Has Been Lost

After the Poetry has been lost
And the feeling of what Poetry is forgotten,
Hungry lonely empty Ambition writes lines
And tries to present them as Poetry,
When they are stale flat unprofitable
The expression merely
Of the clichéd imitative self
In its struggling to live
While dying.
