Manifesto
by Adam Sifre
I write poems
with bullets.
Sprayed punctuation on government walls.
I feel bad sometimes, but
in the end - everything is art.
Do you understand?
Liar.
Sacrifices are made,
so that my words may be heard.
In the end
I want you to listen.
do you understand?
Liar.
I want to be in charge of change.
So I write poems.
With bullets.
So I can be heard.
Understand?
Liar.

Author's Note
It's poetry month and I read a thread about poetry and politics and now you're stuck with this. Understand?
Liar.

I see your bullets and raise you four bombs and a guillotine.
sic semper tyrannis
Guerilla poem.
Urban revolutionary poetry. Takes me back.*
Keep writing poems with bullets *
I like.
Thanks everyone. Happy Easter!
The more I look at this poem, which isn't a lot because, you know, it's a poem, not porn - the more I am convinced it should only be one stanza and the title changed to "Manifesto." But my ego won't let me delete the other two stanzas.
So if someone else could do that for me, that would be great.
