Manifesto

Poem a day will not shut down.

Poem a day will not be bought by special interest.

Poem a day will do its best

To stand for truth and justice,

Which is not necessarily the American way.

Poem a day will not engage in preemptive strikes

With anything other than words.

It will not consider corporations people,

Though it may consider them evil.

It will disparage banking interest

And occasionally fox news.

Poem a day will make jokes where they are found,

Including the mirror.

Poem a day will do its best

To be a voice crying in the wilderness,

Or at least laughing.

This has been a communique from poem a day.
