Various Victories

Thousands martyred 
    in 
wars
    which continue to 
plague mankind 
   Thousands - sometimes millions 
Do you really believe you 
    can stop that with your poems?
All poets out there 
   in the darkness
 I don't believe you can 
As much as I like poems 
I don't think they will "save the world"
   Yet there is always the chance 
  your worlds will reach the eyes 
of a political leader 
  HE(or she) may be moved to action 
 for the sake of peace
