Musar

to write is easy, Hemingway explained
to publish is the harder mark to hit
confront a page and open up a vein
then let your agent make them pay for it
the public loves you when you serve its need
for something entertaining, but still real
and all they ask is that they see you bleed
vicariously, it's such fun to feel!
the Academic style can't touch the heart
like simpler diction Hemingway's school chose
Americans don't want to pay for Art
but see ourselves reflected in his prose
escapists cherish books on war and strife
contributing perspective to their life
