A.B. Jakobsen

Written for writing’s sake

 

To what purpose does man write?

And to whom will it be heard?

For some it be to send you affright

And some to reveal the absurd

Others to invigorate a humdrum life

Or to rewrite it at any strife 

Perhaps to enlighten and free the mind

Maybe a skulking propagator to steer mankind

The wise set out to teach the young and naïve

Let not their virtue fall deaf, and it they shall conceive

 

As boundless as the sky, so be the gamut of writing

From libraries its song is oh so inviting

A cavalcade of chaos and order resides inside 

To bestow shelter to minds of the tired and tried
