This is a call for all writers to wake
Shake off the laziness of a multi figured pay check
It is time you came to see what our faction does
It is time that your just writing for monetary purposes mentality is brought to heel
I an unknown writer has come to rebuke you
Who I am is not as important as the message I speak
But we as authors have compromised too much
As a author our most defining trait is now greed
We need to push our readers higher
Encourage them to explore new depths
There will be no more of us using small words to satisfy society
If they can't understand us then there a wonderful thing called a dictionary
We are too quick to jump on the popular bandwagon
We no longer encourage our readers to grow
Our writings now have no real meaning
Oh how I miss the society of old
If you say your writings are for grown ups
Then write in a way that we can relate
We have come a long way from that 13 year old girl
Reading her mother's Mills and Boon's books that she ferreted away
I am not suggesting that you suddenly become Puritan
Or that you depart from your inspiration today
But the only time I should be reading about so much whips and chains
Is if I am school reading over one of my slavery essays
Do not give the excuse that sex sells
That makes you sound like a prostitute explaining her trade
I will read about aliens kidnapping women like everyone else
But at the end of it don't make me say Where Is The Plot
We have a responsibility to our readers
To distinguish between to, too and two
We are partly responsible for shaping society
I entrust my descendants future to you
So this is a call for writers to wake up
No more should you reside in this slumber
Let us now bring forth a new enlightenment
So we can truly say we feel a sense of achievement
