The Ink of the Poet- Awful but Cheerful

The ink of the poet is used to express Whether to impress or talk about the press The ink of the poet is used to address The problems that you and I face Problems like gender equality and race This ink is our saving grace Because it is an ink that no one can silence An ink that can scream "STOP THE VIOLENCE!" An ink that can calm the nihilist An ink that comes from the brain An ink that spreads through the vein An ink that we can all sustain Importantly so Because the media is our foe We say one thing and they say "no" Because they want to turn our message into a show The poet's thought process is awful but cheerful Lucky us, we don't have to be fearful Because we can express our opinion on paper And leave a message that no one can taper
