Analysis of Asking About...



the poison of life,
 making for the strife,
 thoughts from the unknown,
 weeds surrounding a seed sown...

each person different,
 a mind for rent,
 battling the unseen,
 searching love serene...
...
 how far from the mind; I must go,
 to a realm I yet not know,
 tasting each bitter fruit of the land,
 trying to just understand...

simplicity; if common sense is used,
 street smart abused, many confused,
 as I look into the heart,
 differently all are torn apart...

some born with riches,
 other digging ditches,
 many starving,
 a hearts carving...

cut by lifes knife,
 poisoned with its strife,
 suffering in pain,
 what must a soul gain...?

to be true,
 to forgive,
 each day due,
 hard it can be to live...

hope;
 a bridge connecting faith to love,
 over troubled waters,
 below all the above,
 knowing what really matters...
