Persistence Furthers

There are I'm sure
people 
who 
will 
tell 
you 
to 
stop
    I'm also sure 
you will persist
  in your literary 
efforts 
Some may say 
its only poetry 
   but we know 
different - don't we friends?
Poetry can change a life 
  It can even change societies 
     You might not achieve fame until after you are gone 
Poetry is for the ages 
People may be reading you 
in a couple of millennia 
Sobering thought 
After we disappear 
our poems may very well
bring a smile 
to people who love the genre
