Awake Ye Sleeping Poets

Awake, ye sleeping poets! Write!
Bombard ... with truth's impassioned words
Stimulate ... to enlightened clarity of vision
Ignite imaginations and lift aspirations

Let your words rend the veil of today's charade
Alert ... to cess-pools of hate and disdain
Lead ... through mine-fields of greed and deception
Reveal realms of beauty and those of sacred dream

Awake, ye sleeping poets! Write!
Shame us! Inspire us! Electrify us!
Help to open eyes and unshackle minds
So that someday ... mankind may be ... truly free

I cannot write unless it is "given" to me; and today, someone chose to "break into my home" and the feeling is that of being raped. It's not good. But thank you for sharing this gift, Gwen. Love and peace to you.
