And what if all the poets are for war?
And with a loaded pen take up the cause?
The pen, we know, is mightier than the sword
Great firepower lurks within the word.
No stealth, no lumbering B five-two has yet the weight
Of bombing power loaded on a page.
But poets know the power that they hold
And those whose pen is poised have still a soul.
