Cultural taboos

One must not admit to
being lonely
(or, on the other hand,
enjoying solitude),
disliking humanity,
considering suicide,
or hearing internal voices

It seems that most people
hear or overhear voices in their heads
which is why so many people write
(and can write good) novels, stories and plays.
Those who hear most voices
become either great writers
or very disturbed - or, of course, both.
I have never heard voices
nor even internal suggestions,
and thus don't have the imagination
or ability to fantasise which is required
to write novels, stories or plays,
and why my 'poetry' consists almost entirely of
statements or questions.

Auban,
There are those that when hearing voices in their heads become prophets. Take care. Raúl

Yes I know. I always wanted to be a prophet. I have only the beard, no voices or visions :-)
