[hometext] => This was written long before the current war, and is not a political statement. Or is it?
[bodytext] => There's civil war in Sudan. This is nothing new.
Aid workers are caught in the middle again.
One kidnapped, another escaped
by hiding for days in an abandoned house.
Am I naive to think
they are not the enemy? Trying to help.
Binding up the wounds, feeding
the famine-stricken.
This poem should have a point.
I'll tell you what.
When I think of a point
to war, to famine,
to aid workers kidnapped or forced
into hiding,
when I can think of a point to all this,
I'll write another poem. I'll write a thousand.
Right now, I'm blank.

OK, you're allowed to say my poems suck, and you're even allowed to do it anonymously, but you at least have to say WHY.
And if you're just mad because I said something critical about your poem, I only have two things to say: 1. Sorry I offended you, I didn't mean to, and 2. Grow up. If you can't accept criticism you'll never improve. |
