Published in : OW! Site Content, Agit Prop 101


Leopold, a founding OWer, has provided the following poem for Agit Prop 101.  He sounds angry!!!  Good!!!!  These are times where we should be angry, and Pold's poem echoes so many concerns, staring with broken promises.  Broken promises: what a contemporary theme!!!

At it again.

 

At it again!

At it again!

Yeah, yeah they're

At it again!

 

Never again

They said

Never again

But they're back!

They're right back at it

At it again!

 

Oh yeah

Never again

Teacher told me

Never again

Radio told me

Never again

History told me

Never again

TV told me

Never again

The movies told me

Never again! Never again!

But I look outside my fucking window

And shit...

They're at it again!

 

Never again

They said

Never again

But, but then they're right back at it!

at it again!

 

Come on baby

I promise

Never again

I'll never do it again

I learned my lesson this time

Give me another chance

Another chance, baby

This is the war

to end all wars

This is the last war I promise

I won't do it again...

/please /baby,

never again

 

Never again

They said

While they saved

Pennies in the piggy bank

For the next time.

Give em an inch

and they'll take a life

Give em a life and they'll

take a hundred.

Give em a man and

they'll take a woman

give em a woman and

they'll take a child

and when they see how

the taking's easy

they'll take everything

and they'll tell you

no, baby, no

I didn't mean to

It just happened.

I'll never do it again

Never again.

 

I promise, baby

I promise this is the last time

I'll ever break a promise…

About OW!
Outsider Writers have been distributing chapbooks in dark subterranean caverns for too long. The corporate presses and literary institutions have no vision. The media is irrelevant. It's time to rise into the sun!

Our Goal: Unite the write! We will join forces where we are strong, eliminate duplication of effort where we are weak and put the power and authority over literature back into the hands of the only legitimate owners: the authors and the readers.
