Another poetry chain...

I write not because I always want to
...but I write because I'm scared
...that if I don't,
my thoughts will get sharper and punture my mind,
shrink my brain...
then lose my memory!

Why do you write?

[Poetic Seraph]

Why I write


In the cruel darkness of
Lonely nights
In empty beds
Unheard voices torment my sleep
Injecting peaceful dreams
With gruesome memories of the past

So I write


In the illusion of temporary safety
Bloody images
Of faraway places
Intrude my well being
And rape my empathic heart

So I write


Out of protest
Against manipulated minds fighting a cause
That has been misinterpreted
By fundamentalist turned terrorists
I write

Out of the depths of my mind
Against ignorance
And one-sided histories
I write


I write
Because I wonder
What the difference is they see
Between Catholic crusaded of the Dark Ages
and Muslim crusades on ink covered news pages
Besides technology


I write
Because I fail to understand
How wealth can turn a man
Into a self proclaimed king
Guarding the riches for the rich
Judging the poor for the creativity
To escape their monetary captivity


As long as people go places
Where they weren’t born nor raised
And claim it as theirs
I’ll write

As long as people see races
And claim to be superior than
The beautiful variety of ethnic faces
I’ll write


I write
Because poetry is art
And I am an artist

I write
Because there is unseen dimension
In the world of paper and pen
And I’m a adventurer


Me equals poetry


I write
Because I breathe
I write
Because I can

I write
Because
I AM…

btw Couz, thx for the inspiration, been a while since we had a poetry chain.

[revolt]

I write for the love
love of freedom of expression
a way to release agression
and sexual tensions
and did i mention
i write
for you to understand my state of mind
at that point in time
because it differs from every rhyme
but as long as you notice
i write
for all the inbetween
and all forgotten dreams
not heard of but told
i write
for all the bullshit sold
and for the people that are here to break the mold
forever changeing
forever racing
forever fighting
im writing
for you you him and her
its not absurd
i write for all yall to hear my words.

U' much welcome!, that piece was awesome, damn! didn't expect that much :)

[BLACKSOUL]

If i knew why i wrote
I probably would not be writing.
The first time i wrote a poetic note,
It was because i planned on dying.

If i knew why i wrote
Would i really be striving
so hard to end each day on a positive note
and leave every acquaintance smiling

If i knew why i wrote
could that explain to me
Why "normal" people gloat
When people like me go to therapy

If i knew why i wrote
Could that explain to me
Why i hunt from and yet quote
Those words thay all said to me

I wish i knew why i write
I would save on therapy fees
I would save on wasted tears
I wish i knew why i wrote.

[naija-man]

I write because the pen is thy sword
Its edges cut thru' and lets the words pour.
I write because history needs to be written into time
I have signed my name on the pages of glory, so I know blessings are mine.
I write, so I can grow stronger, and my lights of success shines longer
I write so I can inspire and aspire...
influencing others to have positive desires,
and reach beyond the stars, going higher & higher
I write because because it's a part of me,
And when i write, my hands dances to the beat of my heart in me.

great line

[daplaymaker]

I write to unleash the pain that the devil has placed in my life,
I wirte because God gave me the gift
I wirte to the truth about life

[Couzifer]

I write life on tombs and graves
I write love on divorced and separated couples
I write wisdom on brain dead minds
I write healing on hospitals and ICU walls
I write light on blind sights
I write songs of praise and sing them in funerals!
I write demonic languages and speak them in tongues :evil:

[BLACKSOUL]

I WRITE BECAUSE I AM FREE~
TO WRITE.

I write broken words in straight lines
I write pure wisdom onto littered minds
I write meanings to life and love
I write healings to those on death's door
I write so i can read
I write so i can lead
I WRITE SO I CAN BE FREE

I WRITE BECAUSE I AM FREE~
TO WRITE.

[oxytim]

I write,
the flow of ink
Steady and thick
little twist and turns
the way i think.

I write
not the way i behave
the way i feel
an extension of me
the person you'll never see!

I write
Why? i guess i really dont know
because once i put down my pen
on and on it goes
mind of its own
Poetry Unknown!

[Poetic Seraph]

I write
Because my heart has no voice
Yet
My pen is a mic

[vnorm]

I write to breath the air
that the ignorant
don't know is there.
A break from the walls of hell.
I write to inhale.

I write to experience.
I'm free to dare, to imagine,
to feel..the difference
between loving innocence
irresponsible sex, being a virgin.

It makes me a poet,
so i write for it.
Its my identity
My name, if I'm nothing less,
in this world of fame,and fine vanity.

I write to please you.
To prove to you the genius i fancy.
I feed you ideas
and hide behind poetic license
I curse at will, and say Nigger, for my pen is free..
..
..and my mouth is bound.
Till the moment my doubt is mouthed
I'm a believer.
My heart mends with every word.
Forever read. Rarely heard.

[squid]

i write to express my thoughts
i write coz it make me feel good
i write to release my anger
i write for i enjoy writing

[Couzifer]

I write to perfectly balance thoughts on my mentals...
...as ideas drown into the depth of my metaphors,
their screams awakens and breaks sick concepts loose

...still I write

[TeeZeR]

screams of scaremongers flow through our mind passages
as they tap into the bondage that our minds are in, they create carnage
they give a gleam of possibilities in art destruction through a stream of outrages
they manipulate art through radio waves, pen and page
We need to start a fight!

they consider poetry to be the art of punchlining
"blow apart" and thus grow the art -- people say and expect greater
with bated breath they await your next writing,
failing to see that poetry is more than pen and paper.
to the mental arsons, copy-and-paste is the function...thinking which lines are we quoting
poetry aint my source of income, so niggaz fck your comments! with words, i'm a fighter!

ting-ting, 1st round...jab-jab then uppercut -- "beat it down!" elders scream, "beat it down!"
oblivion in poetry bleeds from my hands, heart and brain
left step then right, it's escaping TeeZeR, get it in a lock-down!
you know how, "but it needs to bow!" screams an elder in pain
get reiforcements TeeZeR, get them to state their reasons now!

[Ghostic]

I write for expressions in different dimensions
with the pen on my left it's: Why do you write?
with the pen on my right it's: write you do,why?
so with both limbs I write,viewing life in different angles
fusing rights and wrongs on hungry sheets of papers

writing, because I lack a gun to do the right-thing
so me writing should be seen as the right-thing
I write from my heart, which is between my limbs
so with both limbs I write, so that words can understand
its relevance in my life, a life filled with questions

I write from the writhe my feet suffers from shoes
the shoes I wear trying to feel what my victims feel
so with knowledgeable feet as pen, I write on streets
this I do in a bid to change the world to a better place
only to discover that sometimes I write on sea shores...

...maybe one day I shall have a better reason for writing...maybe!

[Poetic Seraph]

I write because words are the podium of the mind and my pen is my mic

[Couzifer]

I write to let my words live long after my thoughts are dead.
