Soul

You have soul if you know right and wrong, You have soul if with others you get along, You have soul if you talk like you mean it, You have soul if you say it but also do it. You have soul if you know the way ahead, But you still have soul if you can be lead, You have soul if you remember the dead, And afterwards smile, to leave your spread. You have soul if you admit to your intelligence, In the midst of a gang of rogues, deliverance, You have soul if you love only when you can, To give your lover a fair ride, not for the pan. You have soul if you give enough to satisfy, And try to understand others so as to ramify, You have soul if you ache for political freedom, When you decide to shout for a victim’s reason. You have soul if you pick society over religion, Choosing the more liberal ways of tight fashion, You have soul if you check yourself for morality, And let your older figure with you the modality. You have soul if you see your poetry burn, vetoed, But nonetheless you write again to flow, it’s radioed, You have soul if you readdress your truth values, In later life, and find a happiness that for you argues. You have soul if you’ve considered the questions, Found in life about belief, dignity and obtrusions, You have soul if you complement your many friends, And love as you can to cause enjoyment and ends.
