Answer me ..

What is in life that men seek to see
Twice dead yet unforgiving
Never to mourn, never to care
Is this the stitch of skin to wear?

Uncommon kindness poured out to fools
Changing friends and rusted rules
Scary trenches and Hoola-hoops
Vanishing wealth and plastic boobs

Worthless words and filthy praise
Empty "can"s and famished days
They're nettles and hornets, better be beware
Else trudge in pain for there's none to care

Thought sans action and words untold
Shoving and straining till the gun grows old
But .. Once decided never ever bend
Hail-storm or High-water stay on to the end

There is one life that makes you, you.
Make or break - its just one of the two
Dare to fly and dare to fall
There is no gain in idleness after-all

When all is done there still will be left
Mockers and teasers to thresh to dust
Little known champs of unknown acclaim
Bickering scalawags, now unloved and lame

Why wade through waters daft and unkind
Seeking a harvest that satisfies not the mind
Begging and bawling for causes unknown
Bleaching all, but the heart and the soul
