More Than Music

There 's a track, "Show And Tell", on the new Diplomats CD, More Than Music Vol. 2, which includes the lines

I gleam for the talent that couldn't shine/ speak for the poets who couldn't rhyme/ I strive for the innocent doing time

And I thought the inclusion of the people in the middle, the poets who can't rhyme, a little odd. Giving words to the voiceless is one thing, respecting talent that never got the chance, fair enough, standing up for the innocent in prison, nice. But untalented poets? A bit strange.
