Stick Out Our Neck

Don’t forget We have a neck To stick out From time to time It’s an asset Though not high tech Yet it shows We have a spine We have to shout Get the gist out As a poet Words are our way There’s no doubt We’ll find the clout And show it With what we say To expose wrongs Some write apt songs To keep powers In check, and Poets stay strong Just as long They’re willing to Stick out their neck

That's true, David. Sometimes you just have to say what needs to be said. Good poetry, my friend. Bill

A great poem David with a powerful message. You are so right that sometimes you just have to let your feelings be known. I admire immensely people that stick up for themselves but also for others too. The power of words is indeed powerful. Loved your message here. Thank you for sharing. Blessings to you :)

So true. Poetry is so very powerful when writing about something of consequence and possibly offending someone. Wait could that ever happen? lol. You have a great talent and I have a feeling I will be reading many more of your posts. TY!!

Thanks for your wonderful comments, and yes, sticking out our neck can be risky.

Love it, David. Too many what I call "No-necks" Some people need to call out when times called for. Well written!

I do it too often, but the .message is good. Light rhyme with humor and a perfect anatomical touch.

Something I do often is here on the soup. Religiously, politically. And with many Love relations. It's my greatest tool.
