Antiwar.com is looking for your best pro-peace poetry! As libertarians, we’re unique in our commitment to opposing war in all its forms, something SFL has stood for since our inception. Now more than ever, we must raise a cry against the ravages of war as our leaders seem intent on answering the carnage in Paris with yet more death and destruction.
As we know all too well, this is a fool’s errand indeed.
We at SFL are grateful that Antiwar.com has taken this opportunity to showcase the pro-peace sentiment that still defines much of the liberty movement. As a student organization, we know that the cause of peace is still a poignant one for young people, who have historically been the most dedicated defenders of non-intervention, cosmopolitanism, and peace.
We hope that many of you will enter the contest and show the world that SFL remains committed to the core values laid out in Peace, Love, Liberty. While we’re most excited about the five copies we’ll be awarding to runners-up, you should be sure to check out the full roster of prizes here.
Here are the parameters for the contest:
Make your point in a clear 5-7-5 syllable Haiku and submit your entry for a chance to win. We have lined up some great prizes from some of the strongest supporters of peace in our community, including .5 BTC .7BTC and .5 BTC for the top 3 winners. There is no limit on the number of poems you can submit. The contest runs from now until midnight on December the 16th. Once your entry is submitted to the official email address: ([email protected]) please tweet/facebook/instagram your haiku @antiwarcom with the hashtag #AntiwarHaiku so your message of peace can be seen.
