Who Do I Read

I was asked the question

“who do I read”

well, there's nobody special

that's not what I need

am I here to seek pointers

no, not at all

the way that I write

it's not been my call

I simply write down

the words that I'm given

then share them with others

you know, the folks who be livin'

so correct if you must

that's if it makes you feel better

punctuation and spelling

right down to the letter

but I won't be changin'

anytime soon

so I hope you don't mind

I'll keep singin' my tune
