Keep On Writing

Writers are like saviors Poets are like sailors Artists are like soldiers Singers are like beggars Keep on writing You don't know who's reading Who's listening to your poems To your internal voice Be not afraid to make noise To explain why those theorems Make no sense these days Go watch the new plays New ideas are important New words are like lubricant To the brain which tends to go astray Far from the marbles, away From the mundane reality Keep on writing for nobody Because somebody's eyes will find your works Never mind the amenities and the perks Do not stop writing Because you're helping You're irrigating somebody's brain You're alleviating somebody's pain Writers are like saviors Poets are like soldiers Artists are like singers Painters are like sailors They are very important Like glue and lubricant.
