Is There Time For A Poem?

Is there time for a poem In a world of other sounds? Is there time for a poem When songs cannot be heard? Is there time for a poem In a time when fear is everywhere? Is there time for a poem When no one knows the way to help? Is there time for a poem In the darkest time, in the time of no way out? Is there time for a poem Any time a person alone Cannot dare to breathe their own Name Against the silence of the night? 2. Is there time for a poem now When all is so light and bright There is nothing not even evil to fear And all the world is singing and saying words of beauty?
