Write, Not Right

Journal by Junior Libby

For more than a decade 

Pundits have spoken 

Of the great right wing conspiracy, 

Those evil capitalists 

Lurking in the shadows 

Seeking to seize power 

Regardless of the cost, 

Heartless bastards

Fueled by greed,

Willing to sacrifice

Anyone weaker

To better shape the world 

According to their insidious schemes. 

I speak of a different quest, 

My write wing conspiracy:

A mission to illustrate my vision 

Of triumph and disappointment 

Both at a personal level 

And also on a grander scale.  

Words hold power, 

And one poem at a time 

Every poet possesses

The power

To change the world.
