Why I Write

WHY I WRITE

- Shashank, 20^th September, 2007

Sometimes this gets funny

But not everytime

It’s is real tough though

To get everyone in rhyme

People catch me and say

What you write can stay

On the pages of some blog

But wait, was this meant this way?

It took me to wonder

And made me to ponder

Is it just a literary jest

Or should it be a work of honour?

Alas, no matter how much you try

Very few appreciate

‘Coz actions speak louder

Than what words do state

It is so uninteresting

So boring so mean

What a waste of time

Is this project so lean?

Okay, I found an answer

And write down this

Very simple in lingo

Than my other trysts

Trysts with my pen

Or my laptop keyboard

Penning in those words

Which are unheard, unsold

Listen people,

This is it

I write not because

I feel doing some shit

There are some reasons

Which need not explained

Coz going through some rhymes

Give reasons acclaimed

So give an eye

Give in your ears

There might be a message

Which may serve you for years...

I rank my works

According to what I hear

Reader please read it

Making yourself loud and clear...

Because it’s only sometimes

I get so funny

I am running out of time,

More worth than any money
