An Individual In A Universe


flipping through a sea

a sea of words born to teach

there lies my inky body,

just a word far away

being read brings something else

an inspiration,

physical is one

intellect is another

the world which words roam,

in this world I'm more

my being becomes comfort

for the lonely souls,

and inpiration

to the curious beings

seeking vast ideas,

for this being grew

not appearing from heaven

as a mortal thing,

going through life's trail

encountering challenges

and fortune in life,

persevering here

learning pain and joy from all

choosing my own path,

to break away

from the friends of present day

and embody virtue,

in all of its worth

public discrimination

to give aid for poor,

to those in need too

against greed to retire mony

monetary value,

gone replaced by love

love for us and others from me

not only from my ink,

but from speech of others too

brings to unity,

people united

I faced hardships of labor

mental-physical,

I to no avail 

will fall but impress others

to do the same too,

to reach potential

for I still strive for the stars

trying to be whom
