The Writings of A Poor Man

Mon, 06/23/2014 - 18:09 -- samzap

Who do I hope reads my writing, filled with unremarkable class?

Easy. The ones with the biggest checkbooks.

Some may ask, "Isn't that conceited of you, only creating for the sake of a little cash?

Don't you wish to improve yourself, maybe give your audience a nice hook?"

 

No. I maybe poor and not very smart, but I sure as shit am not trying to bluff myself.

Everyone on this site is seeking the cash, so why should I dance around it?

I didn't come here to write inspirational stories about myself, herself, himself or yourself.

I came to write, so a nice rich person could award me some cash so I can split. 

 

I love my parents, but I don't write for them.

They have too much to deal with than listen to my words.

My peers? I spend less than two hours with them.

What makes you think I care if I want to be heard?

By now, it should be clear who I'm writing for, just like the rest of the herd.
