A while ago a great friend of mine sent me a poem of a great poet of my friends country. Powerful writan with great power and passion. The poet was arrested , torched evencherly he was was shot. As many poets , folk singers and writers have been for all.


THE POET PART TWO

They arrested the poet's , imprison torcher make the poet's scream out in

Their, agony and pain , they do their best in their worse to silence the

Poet's, all to offtan kill them , on some trumpet up charges some don't bother

evan with that,

While the poet breathed and he or she was free or imprison the poet was,

Is , dangerous to THEM, more dangerous than a gun or bomb , and THEY

Know that,

For YOU and YOUR kind , YOU apresers ,supresers, dictators,

So called democrats, elected according to your rules your not forgotan,

You make wars , invade country's , with lies on your lips , in your news,

Papers,T V radio's, spreading your lies, in the name of what you call democracy

Your democracy,

To pro-democracies , sending our young men and woman to die , to be maimed in

Body and mind , to inflict the same on others , from children to mothers

Fathers and all,

The ''other side'' , no better than you , each feeding of each outher's table,

It's us who pay the price for what lays upon THAT table that lays THAT feast,

'Tis the poet who expose you fore what you all are , 'tis the poet who warns.

People listen , at first just a few , the warning spreads the few become many,

Then you begin to worry , you try to first to ignore the poet , then you try to,

Slag the poet off , then you try bye the poet off , offer medals, titles,

Publishing Deals , lord the Poet , some it's true take the silver and gold , their,

Are others thankfully who don't sell out their spirit , souls , talent's , gifts, for,

Pots of your gold and silver ,

So you can have your barrels of oil , and your lust for power and control of and

Over us, and those you claim to be liberating.

The poet who keeps to his or hers integrity , knows what could happen to he

Or she , continues to write , some are imprisoned , often tourcherd , killed ,

Look back in history , Chile , Italy , Germany ,Iran , Iraq ,Britain , Ireland ,

Korea north and south , China , now embracing capitalism and giving

Tongue , Japan , soon to scrap it's law on being a pacifist state,

America, Spain , Australia, Turkey, Korear north and south , Africa both black

And white ,

China , Japan , Rushier , now and when soviet union , further back under the

Czars , Cuber Before Castro , and must be now not as bad , but still bad I have

To say , many I know are not menshond , add them your selfs , my dear reader

You may Know more than I , I have no dowte you do , no county has clean

Hands in history , Sweden supplyde armes to both Germany and Britain let

German soldiers travail thro to invade Denmark and Norway,

Switzerland , to supplyde food , arms , money , to Germany, lounderd money

And julery stolen from Jews, turnde Jewsish refuges back at it's bouder's

Bankers met their , German , British , American , Gennever , thro out world war

Two,

In Chile ,when Penachek took power , with U S support , their was a folk

Singer held in Sandeargo stadium , his name , Victor Jara , he plaid his

Guitar and sang to and with his fellow prisoners , the army thugs chopde off

His hands , he mealy grind , stood up , and conducted his fellow prisoners , as

They sang his poetry set to music , with the bloody stumps of his arms , so the

Army thugs , murderer's , then shot him , he died with a grin only victors can

Have.

Each time some one reads the poets work , then that poet lives once more

THE POET NEVER DIES!!!

There's a lot here to take in. Can I ask a question that's probably stupid? And I don't jest as I ask, it's quite literal. I've thought on this before. Why are they so threatened by the Poet?
