Don'T Shut Us Out Poem by Matt Mondschein

Don'T Shut Us Out



We do not print poetry
The newspaper said
So I burned that paper
Instead

They write about rape, murders and theft
From day to day politics
To the little good will, man does
Are we in a curse
How dare they not print
Our verse

We shall and forever be
A very, very poetic
Society
In our mind, body and soul

So run your papers
Run them in black
Sell them in your box
I'll keep my fifty cents
I'm not coming back

I know how true is that. With the fifty cents you can get a stamp and mail some of your work to someone maybe they will print it and you can take it back to the stupid people at the paper. Marilyn
