I've been working on this for about a week or so.  I think I'm pretty close to where  I like where it is right now.  (I'm sure it needs some tweaking)
I was thinking back to all the great poets and songwriters that used to standup for people and shake the sh*t out of people's conscience.  Doesn't seem that we have that anymore - hence this song.  Hope you like it

[song]
{t:Land Where The Poets Died}
[C]  [Em]  [F]  [G]  [C]
do you
[C]remember  when the world had  it’s conscience [Em]wakened
[F]when poets dared to speak words others had [C] forsaken
[F]with  choices to make and chances we thought worth [C]taking
[G]hoping that change could be a  miracle in the [C] making

Chorus
[Am]They spoke of justice and freedom  in an unkind [Em]world
[Am]Cried out in a voice that would not be de[Em] nied
But [F] in  the shadows of time those verses  have faded a[C]way
And [G]now we’re living in the land where the [F]poets voice has [C]died

[C]Words that healed, and  somehow seemed to [Em] last
[F] words that changed our  lives in  a world so vague and [C]vast   
[F]Defiant voices that put  new colors upon  our[C]masts
Our [G] champions of hope, fighting  to fix  the wrongs  of the[C] past

Chorus
[Am]They spoke of justice and freedom  in an unkind [Em]world
[Am]Cried out in a voice that would not be de[Em] nied
But [F] in  the shadows of time those verses  have faded a[C]way
And [G]now we’re living in the land where the [F]poets voice has [C]died

[C] truth spoken  with the  power of a rolling  [Em]tide
[F] With strength in their voices and anger in their [C] eyes
[F]They would not be silenced, though many, many  had [C]tried
But [G]now it seems we’re  the land where the poets [C] died

Chorus
[Am]They spoke of justice and freedom  in an unkind [Em]world
[Am]Cried out in a voice that would not be de[Em] nied
But [F] in  the shadows of time those verses  have faded a[C]way
And [G]now we’re living in the land where the [F]poets voice has [C]died
[G]now we’re living in the land where the [F]poets voice has [C]died
[G]now we’re living in the land where the poets voice has [C]died
