Absent Minded
We write to end the suffering
Black and blue
shattered souls
recycled nightamres
and the sins of the past
we don't know how to let go
in our minds
our hopes crushed
we hold such high hands at this table
and then roll the dice
and write
but you know what
we write cause we suffer
and we want to end the pain
some of us write to remind ourselves our blessings
and to heal those who are wounded
and leand them to shelter
so they might come back again
Some revisit their torment daily and revisit the nightmare
they right because they suffer
and they want to understand why something happened
we write to help eachother
because we are kindred
we are lovers
far away angels
trying to prevent the devil
winning tricks
and turning dreams into curses
Imagine as you get older
and your memory fades
your life takes a switch and all you have left is your poetry
to comfort you
to ease the pain
to shelter you
to make you whole
what do you say to yourself?
where do you go?
do you realise the recycling of the nightmare
and what you can and cant let go?
We write because we suffer
we write to make the world better
we write to be political
revolutionaries of spirit
doctorates of spiritual unjustice to finnd ways to say to those
you are not alone
we are here
we write for you
to shelter you
to rip open our hearts
and write our eulogies and prayers
and share our dreams and utopias of the worlds finest dreams
and in todays akashik records of shared experience
we are beginningto understand the essence of what we are
as human beings
we write because we suffer
because they suffer
because you suffer
because i suffer
and have
and will
and need to pull through
we write to help eachopthe but do it behind metaphor and symbolism
and thats just one of the many things us writers here do
we write to the future
and heal the past wounds of wars of our fathers
we have spiritual debates and teach life lessons
and look for ways to improve the standards from which we have been denied
we write to heal
we write to survive
we write for fun sometimes
to be funny and share some soul
we write to be witty and intelligent
to prevent suicide and crime
we write and write and write
all sorts of stuff to show you
you are one in a million
of billions
but yet still alike mind
we write because you suffer
and our job is to lead you from place to place to healing hands
from bones of metaphor
to the places you need to go
to see where it adds up for you life lesson you need to understand
we write about the demons and devils plaguing us
and satan's fatal day of mortal life
we write about the saints and humble ourselve to ponder
wether or not we want the truth
after we have everlasting life
we write to learn we write to teach
and writing is a selfless selfish experience
some are submissive
some mysterious and dominant
some like freeworded speach
some write riddles and fairytales
some write the darkness we fear so we can analyse the depths of the untold
some write the dreamscapes of sovereignty
and some jusyt write lik ethey were taught or told
but we writer because wqe suffer
we suffer because you are
so take our hands
take us by the soul
our communication to guide you in this rollercoaster of emotion
is now no longer on hold
we write to prevent the recycled nightmares and the next generation falling for the same routine
we write to stand up for our rights
and beliefs
but we write because we suffer
and we have suffered
and know you suffer too
were here for you
we write because we care
and not only do we write
som of us get of our soapboxes and do other things to
we inspire nations
and singers
and the future
and geniuses and puzzles and thinkers
we lead you throu art
how to solve your problems
and then leave you alone with your thoughts
to wonder how to rebuild back up to where you should be
so here i am writer
the man with nothing
suffering endlessly needlessly
help me please
i write because i suffer
and i want you to write my way out of it
take me by the hand with your plans
like your gods of my free will
and show me the logical of how to start with nothing
and make something of myslef
and i might pick the best
and live it out
we write because we suffer
we write because we care
we write to improve our lives
we write to make it fair
shattered souls
recycled nightamres
and the sins of the past
we don't know how to let go
in our minds
our hopes crushed
we hold such high hands at this table
and then roll the dice
