To Read or Write

Millennia ago,
If you could read and did,
As a percentage, based on what there was,
You might get eighty read,

I'm no historian, and that's a guess,
But then, look at today,
In fact, look at the time you started this,
For millions more would have written their say,

You could read three lifetimes and not get close,
How do you even choose?
Stick to the classic old white guys of past?
Or strictly something new?
Or do you write?
Not sure the difference,
For joy, opinion, or facts of the world,
I am not sure any of it makes sense.
