Peter Cloutier - Rap to Poem

So what is the difference,
betweem a rap and a poem,
I feel that this is important,
therefore you should know them.

They may both be written similar,
but what keeps them apart,
one is used to earn money,
while the other comes from heart.

Rap's not so easy to write,
as it's made up completely of pain,
while poems are for everyone,
and there's really so much to gain.

Now that you are thinking,
I'll let you think this over,
you can write about drugs,
or choose to write of the clover.
