Poem Title:
Poem
A reply, to a request for information, in an e-mail I was asked, “How can I write a cool story?” This was my reply to him and my reply to you. Sir, I apologize for my thoughts of ignoring your query. If you truly want to know, I shall tell you. The cost is dear let me make that clear, but there is nothing we should fear. The road seems hard, as inches we must travel. I do not know if this will help but it is the truth. Passion: I will make an assumption-something I hate to do- and assume you are young. I will tell you true what you must do if I may be so bold. For I speak from the ages of wise, wise sages, as I grow ever old. A man, I once thought wise, he bravely said it so. In life and strife there is a path with but four ways to go. For in life you see four ways to be, work, hustle, steal or deal. For a long time I thought I had been taught insight true and real. We were both fools that day, as I heard him say these words of lost dreams and schemes. For only one can bring the fun of reaching for our dreams. What is that way you ask this day, so I must truly say? Work is the word so often heard and applies to all we see. The goals we choose, we must never lose if some day we ere be free. So listen close and I shall disclose all that needs to be. Passion is the road to take if ever we are to see. Do not let life pass you by, do not prejudge...experience and feel. If writing a cool story is what you passionately want to do then write of that passion. Write of a man whose only dream is to write. Write of that need to write. If your passion is the cloning of mice write of that passion, and lastly if you have no passion, get a job
