I want to make myself clear,
So all might understand
I'll try to pen something here.
Something that's not bland.
I pick up my pen with a flourish.
To try to make a stand.
Thirty minutes later,
The pen's still in my hand
Poised over the paper
Ignoring my command
The pen would not flow
Should I unhand
The pen
And let it lie low
Amen.
Amen, indeed
Wake up, muse and write
A great read
One that inspires all to think
Is, what I need
Before I sink
Into oblivion,
As I state the obvious
With good reason
