To carry the fire of poetry in your veins is curse
Because the freedom to say 'no' is lost
You write because you have no other choice
Hope that God will read a word or two
Or some other respected or unknown entity on the web,
and that you will be very lucky,
If strangers bless you with a kind word in your cup.
