Writers
Let me tell
You some
More stories
Since so many
Of you are into
Stories
This one’s about writers
And a bit about
Social media
I’m no encyclopedia
But I’m a wannabe writer
And I studied
Neuropsychology
And by the way
I can show you
My transcripts
And my old licenses
And show you
How to verify them
But let’s get going
Cause these stories
Can be long,
I know a bit
About writers
It’s easier for them
To observe
And notice things
Instead of rising
To the top
Of a corporation
Has a lot to do
With neurocircuitry
And biochemical
Feedback loops
But I imagine
You don’t need
Every detail
Writers work from home
A lot
And tend
To have strange jobs
And weird educations
Need so many perspectives
All artists
I’d guess
Look at Bob Dylan
He has some
Great gospel albums
He believes in
Orthodox Judaism too
And that odd dude
Won the Nobel Prize
So he’s not so cracked.
You know back
In the day
Sometimes writers
Had fifty resumes
They weren’t really lying
But for grants
Various assignments
They’d emphasize
This and that
Do what you
Need to do
To pay your own rent
But these days
It’s so much easier
To cut
And paste
And people do,
No big deal
Changing those
Demographics.
Sometimes it’s
For protection
Cause you know
How things
Get personal.
And when you
Make a few changes
Those logarithmic
Dances go a buzzing
And you can reach
A whole new audience
Saying that your
In London
Or even
Without a location.
There’s a zillion
Good reasons
And writers
Really know this
They have jobs
They just don’t
Sit around
Playing with histories
As I’m sure
You damn noticed
Cause you can
Change your horizon
And autobiography
In a few minutes time
So there’s time
To rhyme
And do some writing
And interacting
With your peers
And I know you guys
Understand
Cause I’ve a lot
Of virtual friends
And predictably
So many
Are artists
And happen
To be writers.
And I’m grateful
You guys
Showed me
How to do it
Hope you’ve
Learned at least
A tiny bit
From me.
Seems we tend
To know about hacking
Cause a lot of we
Write, what we think
Makes some
People
But it seems
We just don’t quit
And even the mafia
Has a general rule
About not messing
With writers
Cause we investigate
And tend
To write what
We find
But I’ll tell you
A true story
Cause these days
It’s fashionable
To wanna hear
People’s stories
Unless they’re
Writing and analyzing
The people
Who wanna hear
Your story
This is
An admission
A kind of confession
We all know
With computers
A lot of stuff happens
Lots of innocent stuff
But let’s face it
Lot of hateful people
Are into things
Like data analytics
And data trees
Just like those
Corporations
You get my drift
And if I catch you
Reading my posts
Changing things around
Distorting
And glancing
Prancing
Playing political games
Pretending your
Innocent
Implying, denying
Deceiving and slanting
And while I laugh
And joke
And in a way
Don’t really care
Some of you
I’m sure
Kind of noticed
I’ll tell you
A bit of my truth
And sometimes
It’s a test
To see who you tell
And see how
You use it
Cause we writers
Tend to be empathetic
But let’s face it
We also have high IQ’s
And if you
Take my words
Get into my world
And try to run amuck
Be damn sure
That when I delete you
It was no act
Of god
But you may notice
You’re not blocked
So you can
See all my stuff
Cause
I’m not
Really vengeful
I’m not into revenge
And besides I’m not
So good
At new technologies
I got so much
Else to do
And so if I don’t
Block you
With my limited
Nohow, it makes
It easier to track you
And find out
So much about you
And those that
You love
How you’re
Family made money
And that’s for starters
But I’m not trying
To bore you
But let’s just say
I know how to use it
And look all around
In just a few minutes
It’s no bother
At all
And the thing
About writers
Is they seem
To always be learning
So it can get worst
And if you haven’t
Noticed I’m
Quite an open book
Cause I’m
Just a writer
But let me
Send you a clear message
The thing about writers
They can
Open
Your book too!
