Measuring Life
How do you measure something like life?
Where would you even start, possibilities rife.
Yards, gallons, pounds are obviously unfit
Countries conquered, tests passed, home runs hit?
Philosophers can go to the asylum considering this
But should we even bother, or is it just remiss?
God gave us a mind, for the reason to never use?
But is there are God at all? Already lit that fuse.
Some want to possess and possess, then leave it all behind,
While others forsake earthly treasures, seeking happiness in the
mind.
The manically driven want more and more and more,
Never wanting to accept the limits that always close the door.
While most others just go along with the flow
Seemingly content with all they never know.
