I received this today from The Pedestal Magazine. Anyone interested, please do submit. Pedestal is an upscale, award winning site that features poetry, prose, and art.
=============================================================================
Dear Readers:
The American presidential election is coming up in November, and (at the risk of sounding Ameri-centric) this is, clearly, an important time for both the United States and the world at large.
In early October, The Pedestal Magazine will release a special "political issue." We will be accepting works of poetry, fiction, and non-fiction, as well as art. All work should somehow address current political concerns, however popular or obscure, general or specific, they may be. We are open to all views and positions; i.e., liberal and conservative, Democrat and Republican, etc. There are no length restrictions. We are open to extended/complex works or brief statements, pieces that take on specific themes or are more generally philosophic in nature. We also welcome submissions (actually, we strongly request them) from people in countries other than the United States. If you would like to send us an accompanying photograph of yourself, please include one as an attachment in .jpg format.
We will not be offering payment to contributors; however, we will aggressively market the issue, as well as partner with various organizations in an attempt to reach and impact people around the world.
Send all work to pedmagazine@carolina.rr.com. If you are submitting artwork, please send all images as attachments in .jpg format. In the subject line of the email, type: Submission/Political Issue. Please DO NOT use the submission form provided on The Pedestal Magazine website to submit work for this special issue.
Please feel free to forward this email to contacts or friends and to post it on relevant forums or message boards.
The deadline for submissions is September 21.
Please feel free to email us at pedmagazine@carolina.rr.com, if you have any additional questions.
It is our intention to use as many pieces as possible, although we cannot guarantee that we will publish everything we receive.
We look forward to including a wide variety of writings in this special release and wish you much inspiration during this time of excitement and difficulty.
All my best,
John Amen

Here is what I'm sending.. Thanks!!
Make It Stop
There is a man young and strong,
wait, he's crying, what is wrong?
His brothers are fighting and will not stop,
granades and guns going POP POP POP.
Men are falling one by one,
asking each other, what have you done?
What is this war and why the fight?
Where is the love, have we lost sight?
the beatings, torture, a suicide bomb,
another war like Vietnam.
We need to stop and end our war,
or life as we know it will be no more
