Call to arms!

This is a call to arms, poets!

We live interesting times

We are on the cusp 

Of seeing everywhere traditional society 

Collapse from the oblivion of individual rights 

For the megaton devouring ones of

International global corporate powers.

We need poets to became militants

Against the obedient indifference 

Of the oppressed people

Too busy to survive

In the starving disasters zones,

Working slaves of the emerging economies

And the divisive drive of religions 

In the new and old worlds.

Poets are still free

To defend justice for humanity

For our foe has made an error

Causing us to become

Masters of the tech world 

Reaching every corner

Of the known universe!

So take up your words poets

Polish your lines 

See you on the web's front line !

The project

To built a poetic bridge

Between two ancient continents 

Such as Australia and India are,  

Apart by cultural and historical oceans

Would be a task calling to mythic poets.

In order to achieve this titanic work

We, modern poets, famous or not,

Have freely chosen 

To enter this etheric world

Only armed with words and dreams.

Busily establishing new connections,

Where none existed yesterday,

In order to built the foundations

Of this rainbow of words,

Each with its own hue and creed,

Hoping that it links strongly 

In the network taking place 

High above the abyss of distance,
Prejudice and ignorance.

The might of words is powerful

But will it be enough without the dreams?

So to my new poetic friends
Let's be generous and 

Dream large, I  say.
