Jack White pens poetic ode to Meg White after White Stripes drummer was maligned

Jack White dedicated a poem on Wednesday to his former wife and bandmate, Meg White, after a journalist posted a disparaging tweet about the White Stripes drummer that went viral.

On Instagram, Jack White shared a photo of Meg White pounding her signature red-and-white drum kit and dreamed of a world "without demons, cowards and vampires out for blood." The guitarist and the percussionist played together for years as the White Stripes, a punk-rock duo from the late 1990s and early 2000s known for hits such as "Fell in Love With a Girl" and "Seven Nation Army."

"To be born in another time, any era but our own would've been fine," Jack White wrote.
