No Harm Intended


For we writers supersede
other professions:

against all doctors,
words heal and give life

against all men of business,
we let words flow and this be our wealth

against all priests and philosophers,
we feed the starving mind and soul

against all soldiers,
we fight, with not a single drop of blood shed

against all chefs,
we give more than just bodily nourishment

against entertainers,
we are what they speak

against all architects and engineers,
we provide the foundation of life

But we writers are equals of artists,
we understand life and immortalize identity
and beauty by our own craft

yet at the end of the day
we writers, as well as all other professions,
fall short under the greatest one of all:

a teacher.
