The Fight Poem by Sandra Feldman

You write because
You have to write,
So you don't,
Give up, the Fight!
So you don't give up
Love,
Light of all lives
On which
The heart depends
And thrives.
So you write!
Not to give up
Hope
To fight, the good fight,
Not to let yourself go
Go soft, into the fangs
Of depression,
Because there's so much
That's Wrong,
So much cruelty,
Dissention
And oppression,
Because you know
You're, all alone
In this tearful valley,
You call home
Were life is torn,
Ruthlessly,
Between good and evil
And fought in a
Most irascible way
Incredibly, cruel
Facing a most
Thunderous and
Inhumane, storm!
Long into our History
Long too long......
