Should I Write?

What subject can I write a poem on?
I can’t attack a person dead or alive.
I cannot touch a sect or a region.
I can’t write one’s extra marital affair.
I am permitted to write of a girl’s love.
Her beauty and her romantic deeds,
Like of which abound everywhere.
Should I write a poem at all?
