To be verified in the art of mankind
Is a matter of perspective.
If one craves the attention of another,
Are they wrong to feel that need?
Are they simply pawns in another person's game?
Whatever the simple act of kindness brings,
We are all sure to reap the rewards.
Define the rewards of being righteous.
Do we pull the legs off insects,
Wiling away the hours on our doorsteps?
Do we gain the world's riches,
Yet suffering the wrath of the law?
Whatever the cause, there is more
Than one consequence.
Self-validation and self-preservation
Are those traits held by the few.
The few who know exactly what needs to be known.
Am I one of the known? Are you?
Forget me not, the rambling one,
For I am a mere messenger.
One day your chance will come, will you take it?
