Poets Against War continues the tradition of socially engaged poetry by creating venues for poetry as a voice against war, tyranny and oppression.

seven women\'n\'children were shot at a military checkpoint the boys were defending themselves, the vehicle didn\'t heed their warnings this ain\'t no dying regime, you know, where anyone could freewheel with their out of date boneshakers and cheap oil
the president said: we will throw you lots of bombs [a meaningful pause] we will throw you medications [a meaningful pause] we will throw you food [a meaningful pause] we will bring you a better life [ovations]
the TV showed those who had survived at the check point my god, they ALL looked like terrorists anyway, it seemed that they didn\'t appreciate their freedom enough what a foolish people. why don\'t americans come in here?
and it came to pass in those days, that a car of the U.S. embassy in Estonia was broken and 83 russians were arrested can you believe it - a brand new jeep! bastards I hope they will rot in jail for this
