The Genesis of this Blog

For anyone who ever stumbles upon this poetry blog, this is basically the mission statement.  This blog has been created for every person who wants a voice in this world, wants someone to hear it, but will never get that chance, either due to the arrogance of most poetry circles, or the sheer size and scope of the world that we try to be a part of.  Either way, this poem is basically the summary of why I do this.
