Fight Poems
The Time You See
by Tonmoy Datta Mishu
You are killing people.
You are throwing them away
From their own land.
You claim you are a child of the true God!
And you want peace.
You want peace so that you can live,
Live a very very good life.
So that you can marry, have children
So that you can have a better future for them.
And your philosophy will pass throughout generations.

Ballad of a union leader
by sookdeo manansingh
I walked through the farrows
on the sugar cane estate
while the arrows were in bloom
yet I felt the pain in my heart
to witness the sweat and tears
as my brothers and sisters
barefooted work the land
Barely to meet their demands
they toil tirelessly in order

the ABCs of a revolution (No. 6)
by Francis Shipp
Amateur associates amass along adjudicated
battlefields, brandishing boldened bayonets and
ceremoniously ceasing cessation of contentedness.
Directors dispatch the distinguished duty:
“Erase the entire entitled empire!”
Fire falls ferociously upon fiefs of feudal foes,
guilds of gilded ghosts greedily grasp to the
hollow hope of “humanity’s” harmony.
Inept intellectuals irregularly interject as
judge, jury, and justifiers, jovially joining

Shout out to the Whispers
by Jagrut Gupta
There are whispers in the dark
That makes our ears bleed
There are whispers in the dark
That makes us scared
As the darkness surrounds us
We look for a light
As the darkness embraces us
We start to fight

MOLOTOV COCKTAIL
by Ivan Pozzoni
MOLOTOV COCKTAIL
«Fill a bottle with gasoline»
[I feed on life].
«Wrap a rag around the neck of the bottle»
[I think of a solution]
«Wet the rag with gasoline»
[I call out: no answer]
«Ignite the trigger»
[The indignant soul flares up]

In Republica
by Fidelis Peter Olowu
The penetration of the radiant Sun rays
Into my solemn hiding place
Woke me up to receive an official routine
salute from the captain of the Cocks
Lifting up my eyes to Meta's green Chambers ,
I beheld the omen, that Trousers and Skirts
Are at daggers drawn for the race to the top
Only one stool there is at the mountain top,

ACOUPHÈNE
by Ivan Pozzoni
ACOUPHÈNE
The vocation is a trans-inurban Crusade
and, you, where you're going, if you don't even have a banana,
the secret of success is to grit your teeth
by pulling Stardust.
You can't hear the voices of the world
in a field disturbed by background noise,
