Howl For the Poets

When you hear the poet speak Raise your hand Snap your fingers In the old beatnik tradition Howl for the poets Howl for the truth-tellers In the old beatnik tradition Snap your fingers and howl For those who say to evil No sir, I will not break bread with you

to speak the truth one must sit down with evil and talk about a change of diet. I like this Laura as it stirs some old images to life....

Well said, sadly too many who prefer the evil side.. A poet should speak the truth, not be full of lies and false statements..
