Why I Write? Poem by Dr. Ibrahim Lawal Soro

Why I Write?

To impress?
No!
To be called a writer?
Maybe
For a smiling pen could poke the mind of his riders
It could paste the said title on his wordings
Writer is a figher
With his word that is a sword
Of cutting the pain of ignorance down
In the readers
For a good writer could knots his ropes
With a falling tears of the soldiers' wives
He could knock the bald of a critic
With a pen of imagination
He could ignite the fire of passion
On a wandering cloud
With a sense of humour
On the sound of a busiest train
With an echoes and silence
Writer is a writer
Believe it or not
I want to know why I write
To ease my pain?
For my pains were fading
With the beauty of patience!
And successful humans were destined to be hated
By their reckless family and friends.
