Writers' Showcase

Being
by Michael S. Collins

You don't need to be
A writer to be mad
Though it helps
You don’t need to be
A politician to lie
Though it cannae hinder
You don’t need to be
A mother to kill
Though it gathers headlines
You don’t need to be
A truant to be a genius
Though genius is often scorned
You don’t need to be
Drunk to see philosophy
Though philosophy may not
See you when its sober.
You don’t need to be
a ghost to haunt someone
Though being a ghost
Makes them less scared.
You don’t need to be
Really no one does
But whilst you're here
You can admit
It does help. Rather.
