Go Write Your Poems

Go write your poems
About flowers for children graves
Go write your poems
About self passions that make you slaves
Go write your poems
About trees, vulnerable to winter 
And the white infection of leprosy
Go write your poems
Rivers that has buried civilizations
Blind to where we buried our ammunition 
Go write your poems

While you write I will pray
For a crabs worth of faith
While you write I will pray
For Haiti in travail to birth
A new civilization of rage
While you write I will pray
My sister can increase her wage
And they will hire me again
While you write I will pray
The terrorists can sleep with the lamb
And rise to drink its milk alone
That flows from our mother's breast

I will pray while you write
Me a poem for tonight.
