I despise the tool.
I requite in sorrow
And wonder: Pen or Pencil?
The keyboard, my enemy
modern man(?), gone astray
from queue to pee and
ey to elle, to
zee and em.
A modern man, tired of modern men
No thought, no skill, no birth right,
Just pen, paper, and a liberal arts degree
Natural talent vanquished,
Hard work liberated,
I write… as a modern man…

As a good friend said to me once, you cannot teach someone to write,I am with emystar its raw talent either there or not. I have the same attitude with art but that's another story,thus begins the struggle and then the identity, very thought provoking write.
