You accuse a
poet of inciting hatred
Because he
writes a vision of his world
Is like censuring
a man reading a newspaper out loud
Of inciting dissidence,
violence and catastrophe
Words used
to express what you witness
Are not but
a verbal photograph of your world
Challenge
the reader to see
The world
through your words
A poem is
only a map to the wonders
Of the human
experience
Scream out
your epiphanies
Exclaim
others transgressions
Bleat fervently
your frustrations
Shout from
the mountaintop
So that all
may become aware
There is
more to their
World than
the repetitive beat
Of the mindless
dribble
Ushering
from the mouths
Of oligarchy
scum and their minions
Are you so entrenched in your tribal self
That you are
blind to truth and oppression?
Would you ignore the one who reminds you?
Would you, Should you kill the messenger?
Would you, Should you kill the messenger?
