With Concern For Poets
Recently, it's come to my attention
something that I'd like to mention.
We'd have no hero if there's no villain.
So I think I'm more than a little willin'
To be called nasty names or take a jab
from anyone who wields a pen to stab.
Idle threats written from a pretender
Need a hero to become our defender.
*** However ***
A real poet does not use words of abuse,
slanderous words that are of no good use.
It would be a welcome gesture to be kind
so as to have harmony and peace of mind.
A pen is often called a mighty sword
and our pens should be of one accord.
It would be nice, for the sake of unity,
to put an end to the juvenile animosity.
We can all become heroes, in retrospect
If we treat each other with due respect.
