Richard Weigand – Poet<\/h1>\n

The Purpose Behind My Poetry<\/h1>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Inter||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

The world is in turmoil, shifting beneath our feet. Change is inevitable, and while I embrace it, I recognize that many do not. With change comes both opportunity and risk\u2014the risk of losing the very basics upon which this country was built.<\/p>\n

In truth, we have already begun losing them. Slowly, almost imperceptibly, the foundations that once provided stability and clarity are being eroded. When the fundamentals of life, ethics, and truth are dismissed or invalidated, confusion sets in\u2014not just for individuals, but for entire communities and even nations.<\/p>\n

This is where my poetry finds its purpose. I write to preserve and reintroduce the basics\u2014those timeless truths that bring order to chaos, understanding to confusion, and strength to uncertainty. My poetry serves as a reminder of what matters, a way to restore clarity where it has been lost.<\/p>\n

Of course, poetry is not just about messages\u2014it is also a joy, a form of expression, an art that breathes life into ideas. It challenges, inspires, and entertains. And perhaps, most importantly, it provides a voice for the truths I see\u2014truths that may be questioned, debated, or even opposed, but which deserve to be considered.<\/p>\n

So, I invite you to read, reflect, and engage. Enjoy the poems, but more than that\u2014think about them. Let them stir thought, spark conversation, and remind us all of what should never be forgotten.<\/p>\n
