Don't take much to calculate...


Poem Artwork

We came in with nothing
and we'll leave out with zero,
either a coward or a hero.
I've spent all these years accumulating,
to leave out with nothing stimulating.
When my time comes,
I guess I'll just leave,
and let someone else retrieve.


This body is suppose to be
chemically worth about 3.65 cent,
Yet more than a million
of up keep will be spent.
In religious terms,
the body flesh isn't important,
it's the soul that makes the distant.


My souls hiding inside
for now getting a free ride.
Viewing out into a world of something,
living in a body worth almost nothing.
Nothing in this world really counts,
other than cash in large amounts.
But the cash don't mean anything,
after we die and leave with nothing.

One,

I love the ending. I don't think the soul is getting a free ride. We use it to help create our poetry.

Good, interesting write. We came in with nothing, but God's love and we will all return from where we came. Money is not an issue.
Be safe,
