When a poet speaks the whole world should tremble, people should listen with full attention and be silent, for a poet, unlike a politician of any persuasion or coloured rosette, has nothing to lose by using their voice to speak out or up for that which vexes society, there is no promise or delusion, only frank words designed to highlight and comfort, to place anger or shoulder the lie, and the spoken word of the poet should offer nothing but a truth.
