PoetBay.com, the poetry webpage where you can publish your poems and short stories

on guard!

if we looked at history
on a multi-plane spreadsheet
and compared the goings on
in each particular era

we shall find that at any given
period, no matter the advancement
there inevitably at a cost, lay revealed

atrocities, genocides, discrimination

prejudices, and a lack of conscience
that marks the brute in humans
poets have also been present
ever alert, on the front-line

emissaries of peace and amelioration
their words rousing, humanising

Keep your pens in hand,
the job is not yet done.
