Eulogies to the Writer

 Only few know the depth of power a writer holds

through the writer's words, names are revived

Lives long gone and forgotten are resurrected 

Oh Zora, you tell me of your Howard crush, who

sat through your illness

of the upper-class lady who married a geologist

of the defeat of your father

and the shrew who was your stepmother 

Shaw, you show me a world of Nicholas and Rainas

Dante, you teach me about Di Rimmi, Vigne and Monte Feltro

Wiwa, you talk to me about the Magistrate, arbitar of injustice

Oh Writer, you telepathic one 

who speak to our thoughts and create our visons

who immortalizes men and myth 

and are divinely blessed to sustain immortality
