the writersA Poem by Matome Masipaa letter to the writerIts strange you have to be
famous to inspire people, the words of common writers do not appeal to society
on a level that's equal, We too are the masters of
worlds worth millions. The creators of forbidden knowledge. Our pens our pencils and
Freedom of speech, is our greatest weapon A possession comes upon our
mind as the words begin to fill an empty page as furniture does a house. The voice whispers behind our
ears, Some say its ancestors, some
say its angels, others dare say its demons. Its about whatever works for
you I guess. All I know is We are the inspired, blessed with greatness
that outlasts the memories of those that saw us bring words to life. Modesty is all we have, for
we come from the darkness; seen the light; experienced lives of pain;
happiness;mistakes; regrets;awaking; betrayal and the pursue of wealth. The
drugs take some of us away. The Lord reaches to save us everyday. You know you are alive when
you look down and don't see your body stay behind. We use the pages to drift us
further from touch with this cruel world, were those spreading our dreams and
prophecies determine the fates of those trying to be on the next billboard of
the new york bestseller. The longer the years the
better the book-or so the legend whispers. We seek silence and music for
we know one word misplaced spoils the whole masterpiece. We are many, we are known in
few. They say we are the aspiring,
but deep down they know who we say we are. There are billions of novels,
poems,plays and songs out there with our names hidden away like forgotten
ghosts. Call us by our true names, We are not the aspiring; We
too are, The Writers.
