We Write

An explanation for why we do what we do

We write, we write
to express our woes

We write, we write
to embitter our foes

We write, we write
to heat up our toes

We write, we write
to serve up the prose

We write, we write
since we're on the verge

We write, we write
since we need to purge

We write, we write
since we have the urge

We write, we write
since we want to merge

We write, we write
because we're inspired

We write, we write
since we're under the wire

We write, we write
since we're covered in mire

We write, we write
to set the world on fire

We write, we write
in bouts of war and peace

We write, we write
to fling balls of grease

We write, we write
to tear up the crease

We write, we write
to destroy the least

We write, we write
to bring down the most

We write, we write
to bring the fame close

We write, we write
to buy the burnt toast

We write, we write
to simply scream and boast

We write, we write
since the age of five

We write, we write
just to dance and jive

We write, we write
to stand out from the hive

We write, we write
just to know we're alive

Your words are true. Words allow us to know freedom and release pain. I like the repetition. Made the poem stronger and better. A excellent poem.
