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

Kevin Nicholson

I am a soldier in the Army National Guard.  I am currently in Iraq.  I am also a Conscientious Objector http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conscientious_objector .  I am a writer, poet, and visual artist. I am currently working on a screenplay.  I am voice in the midst of a foolish war that has geopolitical agenda, namely oil.  In serving in the military I have gained an understanding of governments and their true agendas behind war.  When I leave the Army I plan to be a strong activist against war.  My pen will be my voice for it is mightier than the sword.

War

War
The end of all ends you are
You’re the leach of society
Taking life endlessly
No regard for humanity
No means
No end
You take needlessly
If there were a purpose you would have found ages ago
But along you go
Effortlessly
Take you take
Needlessly
Ever so
Effortlessly
Like a virus you’re
Progressing disastrously
Will I ever see the end to thee?
Infectious to the soldier in me
Righteousness the motivation  
To be greater than me
Is the infection  
That
Injected
Me
