I picked up a pen to write down this thought
And suddenly I just forgot...
What's happening to me am I getting old
What I had to say really needed to be told
Let me think, maybe it will come back
But I have no time for that!
What do I do, so that I can remember?

It wasn't about a month, gee why can't I think
Why can't my thought, come out from this ink?
My mind seems tightened just like a lock
Why am I suffering writer's block?
No time to question, these thoughts need to be heard
But this block is here, absolutely absurd!
Never should this happen to me again
Granted, I am using a faulty pen
This writer's block I can't overcome
I'll have to go get some chewing gum
Then sit down and ponder what I had on my mind
And hopefully by this time
The importance of what I had to say will be on paper
And be heard, read and published later

Ready to record

Writers Block
Damn the dark voids of the empty mind
With its pathetic continuity and vagaries of perception
I plant the seeds
Writer's Lament
A writer is seldom without expression
Without a fragment of thought
Sewn together in a line of truth
