ARE YOU A POET ? Revised

ARE YOU A POET?
Poet, you encourage war!
What can be your real goal?
Do you know that your pen pours
gasoline on burning coal?

How can you send your sons there
to be in that burning fire?
Why don't you go there yourself?
Is it you can't it endure?

Poet, how can you admire
fire that consumes the flesh
when it's made for other men
as you shout from out of reach?

Embers that others can't hold
burn their hands while yours are cool.
You behold your hands are safe,
which endows you your high soul.
