More From Michael Franti
- "If we do not change our negative habits toward climate change, we can count on worldwide disruptions in food production, resulting in mass migration, refugee crises and increased conflict over scarce natural resources like water and farm land. This is a recipe for major security problems."
- "Power to the peaceful!"
- "All the freaky people make the beauty of the world."
More In Poetry
- "Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It’s that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that’s what the poet does."― Allen Ginsberg
- "My mother carried on and supported us; her ambition had been to write poetry and songs."― Philip Levine
- "You don’t go after poetry, you take what comes. Maybe the gods do it through me but I certainly do a hell of a lot of the work."― Phyllis Gotlieb
