Purity of Purpose

Purity of Purpose

The flag follows the trade
The hunger chases the bread

The logic follows no convention
The facts are amusing just as fiction
The doubts alone breed the conviction
Necessity is the mother of invention

The poverty is a disability
An opulence, a handicap
The ignorance is an ignominy
The knowledge, a money bag

An ambition is the source
Execution needs the force
The vision gives the clarity
The purpose lends the purity
