#OccupyPoetry



They're camping out in social nets,
they write outside the range,
before the current world forgets,
before the stock exchange.

What difference does their crafted lines
make in the scheme of things?
If they could nourish those with signs
with bold linguistic strings.

    the list of things we must #occupy each day is long and daunting. of them all, i find poetry has the truest voice.
    it is completely nourishing. if anything is being handed out, i would hope it to be the bread of ideas, served on platters of choice sentences.

    The fight continues, because it must.
