why do i write? <br />and what makes it real? <br /> <br />be it clever use of words <br />and phrase... rhymes, <br />cadence, hidden meanings.... <br /> <br />no, what makes it real <br />is this: when you can <br />take the tears from a <br /> <br />hungry child's face... <br />and write them with a <br />naked hand... and give <br /> <br />them as a gift so intimate <br />and near to the heart, <br />that it causes someone else <br /> <br />to feel this hunger, and <br />to want to do something <br />about it, to get involved.... <br /> <br />that's why i write!<br /><br />Eric Cockrell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/why-i-write-21/
