Visible versus invisible
A poem
Who decides about it
what will we read today?
Is there any point of reference
according to which
we all know the value
of someone else’s work?
Isn’t visibility that decides
how many reads will you have
today
to date?
Where have you been?
Who did you meet?
What did you do, say, or write?
And when you seized the source
of inspirations of all sorts ?
And why do you do what you do?
People with pets, kids, cars, vacations
attract more attention
than individuals living without
due to extremely poor or lonely conditions?
Is it not that we all write at the same level
only the frequency of appearances
here and there
keeps as afloat or withdrawn
from the main course on the public platform
living an equally justly worthwhile life?
Shame that not everyone will find out about it
