Writing = survival
Text by Joseph Dole, music by Patricio Molina
Writing = survival.
I write to release anger.
I write to release pain.
I write to release stress.
I write to obtain and gain.
I write to gain my freedom.
I write to obtain sustenance.
I write to grasp my own knowledge.
I write to expose Injustice.
I write to fight,
to protect mine,
and others’ rights.
Writing is my sword and my shield.
I write offensively and defensively,
and I offend and defend accordingly.
Beware to those who try to take the pen from my grip,
because without the pen all that’s left is my fist
