Poets, Keeping the World Awake

"My passion is to see poets' souls, brilliantly on fire!"... .P. Romios. " Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world!" Percy Bysshe Shelley, romantic poet Without us being phony politicians mucking about with pants on fire. We cannot change things without the courage ourselves to see evil, write about it, and see it ends. The silence is deafening as the media cheers on Communism wearing the deranged mask of Socialism. One day, we may lose this right to be truthful as poets forever. Stop hiding behind butterflies and flowers, as none will keep you free. Patriots will cheer you on, do not worry about those who avoid you." "A poet’s work is to name the unnameable, to point at frauds, to take sides, start arguments, shape the world, and stop it going to sleep." — Salman Rushdie, award-winning writer 2/26/2021 ~1~
