Write till you drop dead,
that’s my motto of writing.
I don’t do promotions,
have never done book signings.

In fact, once I release a work,
I forget and move on to the next.
In an industry driven by book sales,
My principle is, publish and forget.

I never remember how much I have written,
though the vastness is staggering to many.
All I can think of, how much I have to write,
before I drift into the slumber of non-entity.

At birth we become elements to entity,
upon death the entity reverts to elements.
Make sure to make your trip mean something,
more reason to transcend foolish containments.

I once wrote, save trees, buy ebooks;
since then a couple of things have come to light.
You can lose access to the ebooks you purchase,
anytime the platform decides to remove them.

However, the most heinous case of all is that,
it’s only a matter of time that platforms
quietly start altering existing literature,
like they are already doing to streaming.

Nature will endure the loss of a few trees
in the sacred cause of mind expansion,
but no amount of energy conservation
can make up for doctored consciousness.

The minor dent on nature for literature
is nothing compared to the species level
damage that looms, once existing literature
starts getting doctored by crooks.
Ebooks, audiobooks, the choice is yours, but
always acquire print copies of your cherished books.
