poem - why i write

i am posting a poem which i wrote when i was in my twenties

I am no craftsman
I am no artist
In short -
I am without special talent

When I leave this dimension
I may not be able to leave
Impressions of my journey
Traces of civilised attainments
I am not able to leave
Something for subsequents
To appreciate
Contemporary culture

So, I write
I hope that through
My writings,
My ramblings
I can leave
The veins of my thoughts
The trends of the days
The mood of the time
And my brief bond with this earthly experience
