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

Then there were no questions: 2/12/03

Did you notice
That every time one of those Osama bin Laden tapes appeared
We were told
--Its authenticity can not be confirmed--
--The quality of the recording is too poor--
--It is very likely a forgery--?

Until yesterday
When a bin Laden missive
Would be a rim shot
In the drum beat to war.

Then there were no questions.
