On Writing
Writings are written for the time in which they're penned
Writing is not honest if it's afraid to offend
A writer cannot trouble themselves over how their words will age
Otherwise no writers ink would ever reach the page
In looking at the musings of pieces from years gone
It's useful to keep it in the frame of what was
