I must write

 I  must write to release the stress of life

To accept graciously the wrongs done

To assess objectively my dealings

And to make amends for the future

So I will be prudent hereafter

Scanning my environment, I must write

About the squalor and grime of society

About the vices and modern sin of the day

And the injustices meted to the poor

While equity is for the rich

I must write to share my tales

Of the triumph in meeting my targets

Of my new found love and the wonders of perseverance

Empowering my life with strength for further victory

And ultimately to commemorate my past

I must write as this medium is a ‘voice’

Yes! I can use the pen to make life better for future generation

Yes! I can make society learn from its mistakes

Yes! You are made rich through the nuggets of the pen.

Yes! To be voice for the story tellers

I must write because of the creativity within me

So I entertain with a skit, a story or poem

I edify with guides and directions

I impart feelings of love, courage and trust

And to make the world a better place, I must write.
