Medium is the Oliver Twist for Poets
Come ye, come ye Fellow writers gather round My soul wishes to converse Loud and clear My words are wise And oh so profound No price tag to be set But my pockets are empty And my mind is full of regret My word flows won’t pay the bills Must succumb to the daily grind Nine to five stagnation Utilizing my analytical mind My heart tugs at my creative strings Letting the words come out and flow Creating a piece and giving it wings No Artful Dodger trickery Bill Sykes is for the Bloggers Using Fagin’s tricks to steal a quote or two Listicles are so not me I prefer authenticity But will they multiply my cents? Enough dollars to cover the subscription fee? Or pay ones rent? I write when my higher self pushes me to My mind is always engaging and absorbing Wisdoms, emotions, topics, triggers I guess I will stay with my begging bowl Amongst the Oliver Twists Fellow poets wanting curation More claps and followers Reaching another writing goal My passion resembles Nancy A conflicting devotion to a platform That silently encourages and deflates Yet gives freedom to be Many a kindred spirit to follow me My writing will be my heart’s joy Marking it’s presence and territory Come ye, come ye Fellow writers gather round Our value is not based on currency But the souls we touch Taking them from a place of misery To memory lane and fantasy Our words will still be here As our printed legacy Long after we are gone Once our life’s writing is truly done
