Non-Erotic PoetryA MANS LIFEA MANS LIFE
So what is the true measure of a mans life
Is it to work & love & toil and strife?
Is it to feel congeal with all the complexities that are real?
Is it to paramount successful crests in a world that is so unrest?
What is the true meaning of a mans life
Is it having a son & daughter and family life?
Do you measure a man by his conscience deeds or misdeeds?
If that is how you're moral, interpretation reads
Measuring a man from the strength of himself
Is the only thing, men really have left
Into the eyes, are the windows of the soul?
Searching a lifetime, sometimes the purpose is, never known
So what is the essence of a mans existence
Is it to, tug & tear at the pressures of society, in resistant?
Soulful; expressions only should be spoken, to those who really listen
So when a man really searches his deepest, deepest, heart & soul
He may or may not find his true purpose & his life's goals
If you really doubt, the why & how
Ask yourself an honest question
What in the world, have you done up until now!

Answer....
You really can't mwssure a man's life by any of those things. But we would like to think tthat all of those tings are important. And let tell they're not. When you leave this world and die... Yes I know it's like a stab to the heart and soul, but let's face it it's going to happen to all of us some day. Even if we invent a merical medicn it well still happen eventually, the best we could hope for is for that drug or what ever it is to ONLY EXTENDS LIFE. Any ways back to what I was saying the only way to messure a man is by simply his self worth. I'm not just talking about only a man can mussure himself, not I'm also talking the type of worth that is non material or that is non intlect, or even spirtitual, the type of self worth that I'm talking about is TRUE nature or charater. And I'm talking more than just 'do kill my enemy if given the chance, is it even right? Do I have the right to take some ones life?' Not I'm talking more than just Morality. I'm talking the type of charater where 'If my enemy trys sabbatogeing me what do I do? How do I react? And how do I RELLY fell inside? Do I want to get pay back do I want reveng? etc? And if I take action or don't take action (and just becouse or a lack of morality) would I regert that action or inaction?' Men that is truly how you can mussre your selfs.
