SPECIAL TO THE NEW VERSE NEWS
FROM THE PENTAGON POETRY UNIT
We are planting
seeds
of freedom in the sands.
They will not lie
fallow.
Nor will
we.
We will not lie.
We did not lie.
We do not need
to lie.
We empower
our army
to inform
with facts,
not fiction . . .
but a soupcon
of poetic license from time
to time
perhaps.
The Pentagon Poetry Unit enforces the free expression of ideas with poems editors just can't resist.
