why wait?

...and what are the words one uses to describe a compilation?, works from my entire life?, fifty years of carrying around a yellow pad?, fifty years of writing and rewriting, changing the words, as their meanings change for me?

These pieces are extracted from my book of prose, “50 truths and 50 lies, the first 50 years.” Available Here

why wait? belongs to the following groups:

All Things Poetic, Artistic, Philosophical, Masterpieces: Literary Workshop and WMG

why wait, when you could act.
why sit, when you could stand.
why silence, when you could protest.
why chosen, when you could choose.

why wait?
