I sometimes think upon questions asked
Of creators like me, who make an easy task
Out of making innovative ideas and notions
That propel this world into progressive motion.
Many people cannot help but wonder how
Certain individuals have a knack for making the future now,
Accomplishing feats unimaginable
And colonizing places once uninhabitable.
There come times when I myself am amazed
At my own works, which have been praised
By supportive audiences ever astounded
At this developing world that I have founded.
When thinking on what promotes me
To do what I do, which is done with glee
I envision an entire society deprived
Of the creative genius that makes it alive.
I consider the great injustice that would be done
If world-changers ignored the fun
Of challenging themselves to explore
An infinite realm that we cannot ignore.
Just what would happen
If our diligence began to slacken
And what could've been never was
Rendering our goals to be a hazy fuzz?
Great characters would be denied existence,
As authors would lose their persistence
In developing classic tales
That provide the vessels of our minds with smooth sails.
Advancements in medical sciences would be halted,
Leaving our planet unpleasantly salted
With diseases and ailments left unresolved
On a planet whose progress has gradually devolved.
The comfort that countless readers once had
In reading uplifting words when sad,
Would have been lost because writers and poets
Are erased from the earth as we know it!
I cannot help but produce and write
Because I desire to serve as a guiding light
To the illusioned people who groan and mope
As if there exists no hope.
I have an understanding that there is too much within me
To selfishly hold it all internally,
Never putting forth the effort to set it free
And watch as it transforms lives exceptionally.
I also cannot afford to stop
Because there are others who never cease to mop
The grime of ignorance and misconception
That resonates when visionaries lose perception.
Together, we form one heart, soul, and mind
Pressing steadily onward to leave behind
All that attempts to hold us back
And subject the world of tomorrow with a crippling attack.
Our gifts are what make us who we are
And drive us to travel to places afar.
When someone reaches a destination inconceivable,
It always makes even further journeys believable.
Such achievements are guaranteed to induce
Us creators to make it through.
Why do I produce?
Because others do.
