Poem

NOTPOETRY

This is not the poem
This is not the poet
This is the scream
This is the screamer
This is the weapon
Of mass destruction
This is the "bio-logical" weapon
Of mass destruction
This is the weapon
Of non-violence
This has dispersed its self
This has disintegrated its self
This has dispelled its self
This is everywhere
Do you hear
This is everywhere
This is the vigilante
Who can be put to sleep
But will not sleep for your nightmare
This is for the peacenix
This is for the refusenix
Whose voices resound and resonate from prisons
This is for Rachel Corrie
Crushed by British-sold bulldozer
This is for Tom Hurndall
Shot through the head
This is for Jeams Melar
With a white flag soaked in his blood
This is for the mothers
This is for the fathers
This is for the sisters
This is for the brothers
This is not the poem
This is not the poet
This is the scream
This is the screamer
This is for the world
