My Purpose

My purpose in life... to live it and breathe each breath as my last to hold no argument for the sake of holding give understanding to those who need it to be open to all thoughts...no matter how different to keep as much beauty in the world as I can to explore all realms of possibilities and see the souls of others as they are to not be blinded by the colored coat of deception to be a truth-teller in a world of liars who have no sense of honor or character of the spirit and dwell in the garbage flowing down rivers of fear spending years collecting from life...not experiencing life to know the difference between the two Yes...I have one purpose... to live life without hesitation or fear to procreate and pass purpose along so nothing is missed in each singular journey where the blood of my blood understands life is to be lived...not bartered to find purpose is a cause, unto itself and cannot be asleep... to think dreams and wishes are enough to know that purpose is a strange thing that evolves or dies as the world changes would that I find a purpose from the bravery of the oppressed...who never cry would that I find a purpose beyond my ability to correct injustice would that I live...for I have only one life to live without chosen conflicts of men cluttering my thoughts for no purpose other than self-gratification then claim my intentions were noble what is my purpose...you ask to be... nothing more or less than the perception of my days as my eyes see them to rest with the weary in deep realms of shade and shine a light on the darkness of the lost sharing with them the knowledge obtained from a life lived my purpose is to say with my last breath I lived life... embraced its struggles and have done so without lament 6/4/18 contest My purpose in life
