You can tell when you read a poem today
The poets think they have a role to play
in changing the world.
Poems used to be about love,
Heaven above
and the loveliness of a tree.
Today they are about the end...
of today, tomorrow, the world, a friend.
So much sorrow, doom, and despair
Injustice! Screams
Over explaining what a "symbol" means
Because a poet can change the world
With the worst of all weapons -
Words
