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

END MEANS END MEANS END

Time to assess the positive outcomes
of the war (we of course regret)
for wrong
or right war
must be turned to good
if the brave dead shall
not have died
in vain so
see the consequences:
insurgents on the run;
elections squarely,
fairly run;
oil running through pipelines;
an economy up
and running; and falling
dominoes about to run
in our designated direction,
world: Note our mission
accomplished in the great tradition
of civilization and war,
cruel and sloppy, but watch
the positive prospects now and how
will you doubt
our passionate path to peace
next time.
