Writer's Rights

Writer’s Rights

Martha Stewart glorified after prison
AIDS overwhelming uneducated African youth
Terrorism continuing to scare us senseless
The writer writes

Portraits being painted for history books
Scholars studying patterns of behavior
Terrorism inside these walls 
The writer rights

Hip-Hop portrays a gangster’s persona
Saddam Hussein rots in a dark musty jail cell
Cancer’s evil agenda maintains its goal
The writer writes

Stockbrokers continue to figure cost basis
Pharmacists become more and more wealthy
New drugs approved daily by the FDA
The writer rights

The writer’s rights are no one’s but the writer’s
A poetic license to script an honest portrayal of the world we live in
Unafraid of what his outcome may be
The writer writes
