What is words, acts and actions
What is seen in emotions, feeling
What is seen of tags on graffiti walls
What is said, sang, and heard
What is it, that stays on one's mind
In thoughts and wants and desire too
What is it, that makes you human
To want to see tomorrow, daylight tomorrow
What will you miss, in hold of treasure
Who will know you are gone and no more
What is life in meaning in standing
What will your summary be in thoughts
What is your worth , in meaning
To another in love or hate
In being you, just being you
No pretence on acts and answers
Sat in confession booth
With amnesty's pardon
Who holds the door, and stands so firm
With faith in you, to wait for you
Long enough for passage pass
What is the value of your words
Deeds and actions, in situ
Who are you to be, being defined
you touch the big topic "worth of self" here in a very off-beat way...i like
ReplyDeleteQuestions that makes one pause, a good way to relook over what one has been doing or currently doing. Thanks for sharing this in your poem.
