We Writers

I can't believe you are here now,

Reading my verses.

You, Writer, who looks skeptically at anything

Which doesn't come from you.

You, Writer, who can appreciate only the words

That come from your own pen

Or from the pen of the dead.

While you adore corpses

Your brothers and sisters

Stay here

Unreaded,

Despised

For you

And for me,

Because I am not better than you.

But maybe together

We can be better

And give to ours friends

More than merely "likes"

In theirs shortest verses,

Because is what our lazyness

Allowed is to read.

Maybe together we can strength

Our verses

Our hearts

And-hour by hour-

All the world.
