Running
Stopping
Waiting
Waiting for the call that will never come
Or the girl that will never talk
Or even the beating that will never stop
The segregation of poets near and far
Large and small
Any poet
Anytime
Anywhere
It needs to stop
Why is there hatred?
Poets, the unspoken minority
The SPEAKING minority
The deep majority
We can stop this
Banding together we are strong
We can fight this bullying
Hatred
Prejudice
Seclusion
IT MUST STOP
Now.

Love is a two way street. If you find yourself on a one-way road, it's time to take the next turn off.

Hmmm. I'm not bullied for writing! Still though, I really love this poem. The structure is amazing and all the words flow together really well. It's a really strong poem.
