Writers Of Today:

Who Will make writers of today take a stand and mean something tomorrow?

I wonder how the world will be like if writers today were like Maya Angelou, who was reading Shakespeare at the age of nine,
or like James baldwin who faced controversy from his novel that only expressed his true sexuality,
or like Edgar Allen Poe whose tormented and corrupted life still brought beautiful poetry
or like James Baldwin, Toni Morrison, and Ernest Hemingway who each had their own particular stories to bring that no one did at the time.

How can we say that we are writers if we don't write about things that we experience,
-things that hurt us
-things that weaken us
-things that only we could go through and that only we could face and experience life lessons from.

Writers of Today are the underdogs of today's society. The social construct that says writers will no longer exist tomorrow. That that story that beats through our shirts and is injected into us from the experiences we go through will no longer be heard.

THEY SAY WE ARE LEFT IN THE WOODS AND OUR VOICES ARE PICKED UP AND WHIRLED AWAY BY THE WINDS HOWLS!
how can this be?

Let's be more like these great writers that had a story to tell and told it well. It is most likely that yes, our mouth will be stapled shut a few times, but to endure the pain of holding in then letting the world see our thoughts in ink is much more painful.
OPEN YOUR MOUTH
SCREAM OUT LOUD
BREAK THE SOCIAL CONSTRUCT
LET THE WINDS CARRY OUR VOICES TO THE HOMES OF THE DOUBTFUL
LET US BE AS GREAT AS OUR SISTERS AND BROTHERS WHO TOLD THEIR STORY
LET US BE WRITERS AND TELL A STORY NO ONE HAS HEARD!
