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.
