Only Words


Only Words
How many writers are rebels?
Sat at their computer typing away
While real drinking coffee
No decaf crap!
Killing off innocent people
Nuking a country or ten
Bringing down their government
Colonizing Mars and Neptune
Cheating on their partner
All in a story or poem
Bring the unreal to real
Falsehoods to truthdom
This is why writers get noticed
The wrong attention
Poets jailed in Vietnam
Journalists arrested in Turkey
Bloggers murdered in Bangladesh
This is the power of the word
When used by writers

It isn’t all fiction…
