A Pusher Of Words

I've been made effectively invisible for years.
Considered a fool who jokes.
And not to be taken seriously.
Afterall...
I am just a writer.
A pusher of words.
Not a politician.
Or a minister who preaches.
Nor am I a thief.
So what possible influence could I have?
When I speak...
Few remember what has been heard.
Or read at their convenience.
