Writers First

Think I should be at the rally?
Think I’m not doing the Work?
Not to the struggle committed,
Seeking that pressure to shirk?

Do you find my warrior spirit
Cowardly and insufficient
Dedication to your causes
Weak, rachitic and deficient?

Well, pull your head from in between
The globes twixt which it is immersed:
If you read history you’d know
They come to get the writers first
