Poets are dangerous dangerous when they tell the truth dangerous when they tell us lies we shoot the poets to keep you safe do not believe what your eyes can see what your ears tell you is not true we alone make the truth take it upstairs if you want the real answer there is no place for those who question we started with the poets soon we will come for you

A bit of a change from my usual for this week's #promptcombo #TakingItUpStairs, but it felt timely. Thanks to Ben Okri and George Orwell for the ideas and, of course, Paul @thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social for the great prompt! #poems #poetry #PoetsAreDangerous
