Read My Pages
From stone to
bone- hieroglyphs
to alphabets
Images and letters
from tablets to the
printing press
From skin to leaves
Stamps- Seals and indigo
Lead pencil ink or charcoal
I am a scribe -I gotta write.
I was assigned to this job-
So, it must be completed
now is my time to record in the
Book of Life" never to be deleted"
I am a poet respect it or reject it
Burning words like incense
from now in time
since--the rocks of ages-
Read my pages--
the wisdom of the sages.
I am an old but up to date
holding secrets in my
memory bank
like an old computer
with a crucial update;
I am a scribe
I have to write
What comes up-
must come out.
I scribe the words
that come
out of my mouth.
