A Call to Arms! or Pens, or Keyboards, hell, Quills (We can use all the help we can get)

Poem a day continues to be steadfast

In its refusal to be bamboozled

And steals a battle cry and the royal we,

And declares
We will not be assimilated!

We will not shutdown.

Poem a day issues a call to arms.

We call on all poets,

All writers and artist,

All open mikers everywhere,

To remember
The pen is mightier than the sword,

(speaking in the long-run, of course)
To continue the tradition of

Raging against the machine.

And becoming a public nuisance.
What can they do to us?

We’re already broke and get paid a pittance.

Call them out, play no favorites,

Take no politician prisoner.

Stand with Poem a day

And give me a good excuse for using the we

When I say we will not be silenced,

We will not stop stealing phrases

Until they pry the pen

From my cold dead fingers,

Or my backside from the chair

In front of this keyboard.

Stand with poem a day and

Sit down and write.

By the way, if you foxian journalist

Want to come back to the light,

That would be cool, too.

This has been another communique from poem a day.
