A Code Poem For The French Resistance - Leo Marks
The life that I have is all that I have And the life that I have is yours.
The love that I have of the life that I have
Is yours and yours and yours.
A sleep I shall have
A rest I shall have,
Yet death will be but a pause,
For the peace of my years in the long green grass
Will be yours and yours and yours.

They Say - Ben Okri
They say Love grows When the fear of death Looms.
They say
Courage looms
When the fear
Of never loving again
Disappears
In the smell of the enemy
Who crushes us so much
We can only fight.
Love and courage grow together
When the flesh is rawest
And the spirit charged.
And distorted within the nightmare
We see the possibility
Of a future.

Young Poets - Nicanor Parra
Write as you will In whatever style you like Too much blood has run under the bridge To go on believing That only one road is right.
In poetry everything is permitted.
With only this condition of course,
You have to improve the blank page.
