Poetry: My worth

What Purpose

What purpose is there in my birth
And in my earthly days, what worth

To live my days behind a frown
Complaining life has let me down

To build a wall of lust and greed
Between myself and those in need

To overlook the good men hold
But magnify their faults tenfold

Or will my purpose soley be
To start the hate for World War Three

Oh, no! I can't help think my life
Holds so much more than hate and strife

I feel a sweeter, nobler worth
For being born onto this earth

To spread His love throughout the land
Until He takes me by the hand

    I'm not sure why i bothered to ask

    I'm not even sure I wanted to know

    You blow everything out of proportion

    On December wings, I fly... I fly

    the sky opens up, breaks apart for me

    where I discover all that I am, all that I can
