My monetary value
A lot of pundits ask , to know
What I make from writing, what I am worth
Pen to paper on signing cheques
Like show us your value
It has been calendars past
Since I started writing
And putting to post, as readers digest
Value on earth is measured monetary
On the scale of what acquisition gained
To be priced, putting pen to paper
Where is the money men
How much are you getting
From this that you write, in scribbles
To be on first name basis
With the Banker Manager
"The money issue"
Hmmm truthfully I made a fiver
Sent to me by Google adserve
Show me the money men
So I am a fiver on value gained
If money was to be my objective in goal
I made a fiver, hurray hooray,
First name basis with the money men
I got sent the cheque in the post
Looked at it and dropped it somewhere
Amnesia of it essence
Artistic integrity to find to define meaning
But then a strangers knocked on my door
When I came out they were gone
They left a note,
A comment, in my letter box
A comment on the house of words I built on notion
And I stood there over joyed, filled with emotion
Knowing I have touched a soul , two and some
There is no buck in writing
Not for all but a handful, in first name basis
If money is to define reasons, not mine
But there is value, the greatest of its kind
When a stranger relates, to announce one's essence
I am still not sure where my fiver went
I feel the same. No money to be made by (my) writing; but I write for the love of it and am glad when what I write touches someone in some small way!
