Prize averse
Artists cross chanceful desires
From expecting endorsement
To craving credits
To competing for awards
You have to cross border
To know your borders
If you write for a prize
You look a little lazier
Than a giant gambler
By peddling your skills
What sportpersons do
Poor authorpreneurship
Writers live in their stories
No one thought it important
To ask if their legends exist
Unlike social critics
Writers have creative mind
Behind their critical eyes
