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

Poetry: My worth

I cast my rod in the ocean
With baited breath I wait
This my life station
I'm worth my catch in weight
My worth changes with
Who Am I?
The sun beams through the window,
Waking me from sleep.
I sit up in bed,
glance around as I weep.
The birds are singing

Complaining

"Worth beyond us both"
Whatever got between there and here
Can't be just one thing
Can't be just one person
Not between us
Not

THE SCALES
It could be more than I estimate
Yet less than my total wieght
After I've vented true
It wouldn't matter all that
