Excuses For Not Writing

We make them right and left, These things that hold us tight— “I just don’t have the time To sit and really write.” It seems we’re too busy To get around to it— We have to make ourselves Relax and just do it! “I have to feel the muse To write a good poem”— That’s all a bunch of bunk— It takes one to know ‘em. Seems we’re all too busy And fill our lives with fluff— To write, you’ve got to write! I think I’ve said enough! You have the time to smoke Or time to watch TV— So find the time to write And set your true self free! Make no more excuses For never having time— Words are a legacy— Blank pages are a crime. Words are writ on water, Into black space are hurled— Someone will remember That we once touched this world.
