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.
