why I write

My heart beating;

both love and life are fleeting

imortality abstains immorality

a picture worth a thousand words,

words; my paint brush

what we come to is a lush necessity

to write; to fight

otherwise it is just love and life:

fleeting.

Is your heart beating?

With this poem I don't look into traditional writing method, but try to explain why I write, while encouraging the reader to think and mull over this.I write because my heart beats. Writing can overcome immorality (like what we see in popular culture today) and truly acheive imortality as literature. both love and life are fleeting, but what is written about those things still remain,a picture can give a story, in turn a story can give a picture.if your hearts beating you can understand why I write.thank you.
