Poetry With a Conscience
Poetry with a Conscience
When are you going to stop following idiotic mandates?
Preparing your entire family and you,
like sheep in obeisance, for life in a totalitarian state.
What happened to the freedoms you
so dearly held and cherished?
Wake up, speak for those things you
love...many rights have already perished.
And we poets, drool over monarch butterfly wings and
study endless poetry form tutorials.
Whilst the freedoms guaranteed in the Constitution are
quickly becoming dead, granite memorials!
We are fearful to write about blood-filled American streets.
Till it be our very own, oh, how ugly to ponder and how
bittersweet!
These pages might be our last chance to wake others to our
present insanity.
Lest we all lose all freedoms, and find ourselves living in a
hellish Totalitarian inhumanity!
It's time to resist and revolt, right now and stop your
poetic, sweet and wonderful hidings.
Lest the freedom door finally closes, and the morons forbid
you from doing any writing!
