What They Think

inspired by a fellow poet... for poets

you there, take up arms

shun all of your charms

behind ignorant eyes

our sweet FREEDOM lies

 

they stare from on high

watching the weak die

now, i say no more

STAND UP! this means war

 

ready your pen hand

write for your freedom

send their wretched clan

to HELL-- for sins done

 

draft razor thoughts in the BLACKEST of ink---

DEATH TO CRITICS! we no longer care what you think

Author's Note

I enjoyed the poem. Strong thoughts and anger in the words.

Dude... Are there rules?
-picks up the poetry manual-
There's a book on this? Why haven't I been told?
Holy cow they have my picture in here!
-holds it up and points-
It says: This person always does it wrong!
Pfft
-pithy hand wave-
Who reads this stuff anyway?

You have to be you always... If that's just twenty single spaced, two syllable words down a page.. So be it. It is your vision. :)

[Travis Gibson (poetic heroics)]

Exactly... this was to those who have no clue of the meaning in the words you've just posted. You had me smiling all the way thru them. :)

Thank you, Noodle... all of the great writers i am coming to encounter, have been sparking my imagination one way or another; yourself very much included amongst them.

Thanks for the review, Rose. He informed me of his appreciation. The experience here has made writing fun again, and great writers such as yourself, C.H.Luke and others has given me the cause to push my ability.
