Identity
Money, power, accessories.
I would banish all these luxuries,
All costly clothing, all fancy bling,
For the sake of something
Greater.
There is nothing I cherish more,
And I say this with no bore
Or loss of sincerity,
Than having personal identity
Always.
You see, myself is all I’ll ever need.
So, my friends, take heed
Of this advice I am willing to give
So that you too may live
Freely.
Disregard every trivial thing
Because there is no greater blessing,
Nothing that will ever exceed,
The only love you will ever need -
Identity.
