no politics in poetry

if you say so

no politics in poetry

there is no politics in poetry

the other cried

keep your mind your words 

unseen unspoken unheard

leave them on your desk

on the stack of many

do not complain to me

about your rights

or what you think 

they are

speak up boy

speak up

stand not sit

nor on bent knee

that is submission

not liberty

show the world 

just who you are

where you stand

let them hear your voice

there is no politics in poetry

only poetry in politics

let them hear your voice

there is no politics 

in poetry

their words

my thoughts

your choice

there is poetry in politics
