Poets Against War continues the tradition of socially engaged poetry by creating venues for poetry as a voice against war, tyranny and oppression.

Excerpts from 25 Haiku poem Collection with illustrations titled "The War Room"

1.
in the war room
without consulting me
they make plans

have that
sinking feeling
war is afloat

2.
nothing new
this Opium war
again

large
future demand for
pain killers

3.
food drop lands
on child's head
ends his hunger
for good

4.
the war machine
has no pilot
only fuel

5.
next spring what's left
sand fleas
land mines and
poppies
