The Poetry Bomber Poem by Daniel Hooks

I am a poetry terrorist with a suicidal desire to live and to preach
To answer questions and to teach
-People the power of free speech
I want to poetry bomb the ignorant and the greedy
I want to help the needy
Feed the people of the third world
Who have nothing to eat and no wages
I want to write pages and pages
Of dynamic explosive poetry on to the page
Full of love and rage
Which sends shivers down your spine from the desperate stage
From which I write
To set the page alight
But I want my poems to be wise and open eyes.
I want to poetry bomb the houses of parliament
and number 10 with my pen
with words so thought provoking
they are almost choking
I want to go toe to toe with the president in a poetry debate
I want to captivate my audience
With delight and despair
With such rare skill
like a rollercoaster ride that makes them ill.
And still you’d want more
I want blow open the blinds in people’s minds
Get read of the apathy of indifference
And help you make your own difference
Everywoman and everyman because you can
I want my poetry bombs to blast and to make a lasting impact on you
In everything you say and everything you do!
