THE PURPOSE OF THE WRITER

9/6/2015

0 Comments

 
A writer doesn’t need talent
a writer doesn’t need fame
a writer doesn’t need money
a writer doesn’t need beautiful women,
all that stuff has already crippled
the world we live in
with all the talented
famous
rich
attractive
fools
that we look to as role models--
that do nothing but move our society
closer to extinction:
no a writer needs none of that crap;
what a writer needs is the ability to
look beyond the shortcomings of 
the world they were born into:
and the heart and courage to do something
about it with their words.
