to all poets

commentary

 

Here is both a howl and a hymn;


a clever lamentation soaked


in satire and righteous indignation.


It treads the comic edge of poetic injustice,


railing against the vultures in wolf’s garb


who see art not as soul-work,


but as leverage, a means to pecuniary ends.




With its brisk rhyme and biting wit,

 

it reminds us that the poet’s struggle


is not just existential, but economic,


a fight to own what is made of breath and ink.



Behind the laughter and the lyrical punchlines


lies a sharper truth: to write is to survive


the very world that tries to commodify


the voice that dares to speak.




It stings and sings at once


and no one could accuse this poet of going quietly.


Thanks for speaking out against the outrage


of scammers and spammers and the like.
