We Hear Your Protest Poet

 

What's the use of protest

In my poetry

It won't make any difference

I'm not naïve, you see

 

People have their minds set

On what they want to do

My verse it will not change them

Neither will yours too

 

They might consider what we

Think before they act

But change their minds we hope to?

We're wasting time. A fact.

 

Take me, I'm just a poet

In the wilderness

No-one taking notice

Of what I say, address

 

We hear your protest poet

You may not change the world

But bring your thoughts out, write them

And see what might unfurl
