Unwelcome.


A world without light,

Without literature.

This "world" is not that,

not a "world" at all.

 

A Hell.

 

With writing comes education.

With education illumination.

With illumination,

Sanctuary.

 

Without this,

Without literature,

Only Hell.

An enclosing darkness,

eternal.

 

Nurture the amatuer,

The first-timer,

So that there may be,

One day,

Professionals.

Second-timers.

 

No,

This "world" is not welcomed.
