No One Would Miss Me

No One Would Miss Me

My journey through life is nearly over;
even tho, I know my soul lives on;
while my body decomposes in clover;
will others miss me; when I’m gone?

My life seems to be of little consequence;
it almost seems vain and petty;
most of

The Governance Of Man

The Governance Of Man

In the beginning; God created heaven and earth;
at least; that’s what we’ve been told;
mankind has digressed from its time of birth;
and continues; as we grow old.

We make friends and enemies when we speak;

The Envy Of Pride

The Envy Of Pride

Life is engulfed in endless competition;
proving how our talents compare;
