Duty



As writers. Poets.
And, creative innovative people,
Sharing opinions, ideals and more.
Done to explore mental adventures.
Bestowed with a 'calling',
To remove restrictions limited to censorship.

As writers. Poets.
And the many creative innovative people.
This is a duty.
An obligation to humanity.
With a doing to face obstacles embraced,
By those unconscious and unaware...
What it is that thinking human beings do,
Without fear of what the future presents...
That enhances a quality of life.
Others may fear a credit of this given,
To the ones unthreatened to use...
Curiosity, common sense.
And the benefits of leaving behind ignorance!
