Poet Laureate

"Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal..." -T.S. Eliot

"The world is ugly And the people are sad." - Wallace Stevens

I've come here today to pen this little rhyme about Selma, the most remarkable film of all-time. It wrote and directed, photographed and then acted itself, like a road without workers who laid it. So I offer this stricture on its nod for Best Picture while not one for the people who made it. No actors, no artists, no cast, and no crew; it sprang from the ground and they showed it to you. Maybe Legend and Common will prove it belongs. But did it get the nod just because of their song?
