Timothy Mattson Poet Narrative

Why Write

I write  . . . to those who read,
    A written word to understand.
        For whom the pages turn the truth,
            Beyond what is heard them to demand.

I write  . . . about what's important,
    To all those, both large and small.
        Since the stories are often hidden,
            Behind a political cabal.

I write  . . . when there's confusion,
    Concealing shadows to blind the light.
        While some obscure reality to a false
            Fiction, without reward to those right.

Yet finally, I write where it's needed,
    Both for others, but also my own self-interests to heed.
        So that its potential may find some wisdom,
            As it spreads value along with the seed.
