Let's Offer Support

I never wanted to just make a living —

but to do it by doing what I love,

something meaningful for the world.

I can’t tolerate the idea of earning,

misleading my fellow earthlings

just for my own gain.

But we all know — ethical earning is hard.

What can be better than writing

and illuminating lives of others?

Yet, we are given pittance.

I wasn’t lucky enough to be born

with privileges or a solid inheritance.

Relatives won’t support, for jealousy,

they fear what I might become.

I need support, as we all do —

we are after all, social humans,

alone, we are but vulnerable.

Piercing through this frustration,

appeared the social media community

people generous with their support.

I’m grateful to all of you —

for your time, and attention,

the help and motivation you offered,

when I needed it the most.
