Poets of the World - UNITE
Don't sit tight
Unleash your pens
AND WRITE
Challenge MAY
And challenge PUTIN
Challenge TRUMP
An' stop the shootin'
Poets of the World - UNITE
Please stand up and fight
Activate your HOT PC
AND WRITE
The PEN is mightier than the SWORD
Man can't resist the written word
Prose ? Gets up up your nose
BUT Poetry is heard !
Poets of the World unite
With messages of Truth and Light
Integrate don't vacillate
AND WRITE
Thanks for visiting - comments welcome - Love BRIAN XOX

- Comment from author about the poem: There is a long tradition of Protest & Satirical Poetry which has had a much greater effect on the Social Conscience than most people realise ! Robbie Burns - John Betjaman - Bob Dylan and of course the Liverpool School of iconoclastic Poetry. So please protest - write & publish | everywhere and anywhere ! To save the World from TRUMP & GRUMP & HUMP we must make our voices heard ! Comments welcome | Love & Peace to ALL - BRIAN XOX

I think people are afraid to unite against their political leaders. The pen is mightier than the sword as you say, this is true. A really great write, thanks for sharing. Well said! Hugs Christina
