Why Write? |

I’ve written reams on rodeo- And maybe more on love- I’ve painted outdoor vistas- And even looked above. But here I sit and ponder- On a balmy, late-spring night- Now that you’ve taken pen in hand- What are you gonna write? I’d write of ancient battles- But no one really cares- It seems a man is laughed at- Each time his heart he bares. The socio-political- Is anarchic at best… Not sure our once-great country Can stand up to the test. So what to write? Why write at all? These questions have no answer- And yet the urge and need to write- Eat at me, like a cancer. |
