Dead Poets Society
A horde of poets
walk together holding hands
chanting the verses of the Lord
they pledge to be united
‘Till death do us part’,
but there is always a divide
countries are broken, bodies partitioned
with fire in their bellies
tears replace words on paper,
the political is personal
or is the personal political
the same pair of eyes
staring at the moon from the bedroom window
‘It’s round’ they sing in unison.
Poets at the Cafe -- Daryl Lex Price
