My World and I

I am a product of an earthly world

In dust I live, I freeze in cold

My lips are sharp, my hands are skilled

My brain absorbs every grain I mill

                I am the sum of all the sins of this world

                In principles I work, the truths I bold

                My body has been assailed by disease bearing beliefs

                But it never took the promises I keep

And I will die just the way others will

My body decomposed in six feet scars

But nays will I perish from this world so cold

My memories will live and hold
